If you're into the Lego MINDSTORMS stuff -- a cool alternative to the standard Lego programming stuff, or even leJOS

Everything you need -- from Visual Studio 2005 Express to the sdk -- all FREE

*originally posted in hot deals, since it's free -- but it's probably more suitable here in software/programming*

It's got a huge following... and you should see prices on the "old" RIS2 stuff fall as the new Mindstorms NXT gets close to release.

I got the big kit around November for $125 ($199 --> $150 sale - $25 discount) from amazon/toysRus. It's in and out of stock frequently -- so you gotta keep an eye on it if you're interested.
