Sub Theme
The LEGO® Gyroscopic Sensor 2852726 is a key component for enthusiasts of the Mindstorms theme, specifically the NXT subtheme. Released in September 2011, this sensor allows you to build LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT robots that can detect rotation using a single axis gyro based on a quartz resonator. Accurate readings require the gyro sensor NXT-G block or use of another programming environment to read the raw value from the sensor. This set includes 1 Gyroscopic Sensor and does not include a connector cable. It is important to note that this is the individual component and does not include the NXT Intelligent Brick, software, or any accessories.

Please note that this set does not include a connector cable and requires the complete LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT set (#8527 or #8547) for use.
