Hi, I'm 9 years old, but I don't seem to know if the NXT is too advanced for 9 year olds?
I know of many bright 9-year-olds who are building models with the NXT. The ages printed on the box are there as suggestions to help parents make decisions about buying. When I encourage grandparents to try out the NXT, they often tell me that they are "too old." Of course, that is nonsense. I think that if you really want to learn something, you can do it - no matter what your age is.
