It is not the only place to start, but it is a reasonable place
to start. I recommend reading the Wikipedia article next:

There are several languages.

I think the Lego 8527 Mindstorms(r) NXT(r) Kit is what you *might*
want. It sells in the US for $249.99 + tax + shipping.
The VexPlorer is another alternative (use Google) that has
a different approach. The Parallax stuff is pretty good as
well.
