<p>You can make a wide variety of robotic inventions with the Basic Kit.
With the standard Mindstorms package, you get two motors, so your choices
are fairly limited to a robot that can manuver and use sensors, or a robot
that sits still and can move pieces around a fixed base. With the
RoboSports expansion kit, you get a third motor which gives you a lot more
potential.</p>
<p>The kit comes with enough parts to build a variety of vehicles roughly
resembling tanks, cars, and other simple wheeled designs. You can
also make things that walk on legs in a simple way, like the old
four-legged wind-up toys. Articulated or non-circular leg motion
probably requires additional parts that aren't in the basic kit. </p>
