What is better than Lego Mindstorms?
If you’re looking for flexibility for a variety of STEM classes, I recommend the Makeblock or Cubit STEAM kits. If you have a bit more budget than the Lego Mindstorms ($600+), I would strongly recommend the VEX EDR kit. They’re the closest kit to real engineering.

Can robotics use C#?
Probably the four most popular languages for robotics are Python, C#, C++ and MATLAB. They are all great options and I have used them many times. For some larger projects, I have even used all three in the same project because each has its own unique strengths.
