LEGO MindStorms

Today I went to a mall with my girlfriend, and we saw the LEGO MindStorms Robotics Invention System 2.0. It is traditional lego with microprocessor and sensors/motors. It has very easy-to-use programming environment. It seems good for rapid-prototyping robotics ideas. It costs $10700 at the mall and $9000 on the net, but only $6300 in the US. I think I will buy it. Have you guys ever played with it before?

After much consideration, I think it's too underpowered for its price. And I can't find cheap second-hands.

At CMU, it is used for robotics education. See the web site, http://www.rec.ri.cmu.edu/education/
