Mindstorm is, IMHO, absoulutely worth to buy. You can find it at $219 (if I

set with any standard Lego Technic set you feel appropriate, I suppose they're
are easy to find in Germany. Motors as well are available as a standard Technic
expansion kit, and you can buy more sensors if you like always at
legoworldshop.

Have fun
