One day a railway, the next a road system – this set allows children to explore and experiment with different forms of transportation. The wagons make a realistic “tat-tat-tat” sound when driving along the rails. The set features two double-sided building illustration cards packed with ideas. Also includes special elements such as decorated bricks, flowers, flags, doors and windows. Includes large storage box.
Using the NXT brick, the Colour Sensor is able to perform three unique functions. It acts as a Colour Sensor distinguishing between six colours; it works as a Light Sensor detecting light intensities, both reflected light and ambient light; and it works as a Colour Lamp, emitting red, green or blue light. You will need a connector cable, which is included in the 9797 Base Set.
