Creative Projects with LEGO(R) Mindstorms(TM)11 reviews
Benjamin Erwin
Addison-Wesley Professional, 2001
Great stuff
+ Projects that require the solution of complex problems
+ Geared towards a younger audience
This book is a great introduction to the world of LEGO Mindstorms robots. I've been working with the LEGO Mindstorms kits for about 6 months, and I've often been frustrated by the lack of detail in the manuals for the kits. This book provides quite a bit of the missing information. For instance, ...

Roger Bridgman
DK CHILDREN, 2004
Beware! This REALLY IS a childrens book!!
+ A great introduction to ROBOTICS
+ Great book for kids and adults who love Robots!
If you want to explain the concept of robots to children, this is a good book. If you want to know anything on the subject as a teenager or an adult, there are better books out there showing better robots.
I suppose that's not really a problem as this is clearly listed as a kiddies book, but ...

i robot, you jane
It's a cog! It's a spring! No, it's a new book by Scout Driggs about Robots! Though short on science, reason, or sensibility I find that my three year-old cousin Rodrigo loves this book with an overwhelming passion. He carries it with him everywhere and begins to weep like a baby at the merest ...

The Robot Kit: With Four Fantastic Easy-to-Build Robots 1 review
Sarah Chapman
Barron's Educational Series, 2006
What a rip-off
My 8 year old was looking forward to this gift, as he spotted it when it arrived in October and waited until tonight to open it. He's disappointed. I didn't realize it was just cardboard cut-outs with some blinking lights. It's not a robot, it's a cardboard toy that blinks and makes an annoying ...

Create Your Own Robot: Sticker Activity Book (Dover Little Activity Books) 1 review
Steven James Petruccio
Dover Publications, 2006
tiny book
I thought this would be much bigger. It's more like a little stocking stuffer. My kids were 5 and 9, and neither really took to the book. I'd recommend it for even younger children.

Once again Syngres has put together a top notch team of Lego builders. The robots in here are incredible to say the least. I was amazed to see that CS Soh had a hand in this book as I've been a big fan of his LEGO work on the web for some time. I just finished building all of the robots in the ...

Victor Appleton
Aladdin, 2006
Tom Swift + re-invention = GREAT!
+ Classic books
This is a great book in the newly re-invented Tom Swift series. In fact, this would have made a better book #1 and introduction to this new series (some early cover art shows this as #1 in the Young Inventor series.) Tom and his family, friends, and environment are nicely introduced in this story. ...

Excellent!

+ One of the Best Available!
I bought this book to get a better idea of how to safely interface my own circuits to the Lego Mindstorms NXT. In my opinion, you can't find a better book for this purpose. "Extreme NXT" contains the pinouts and proper usage of the NXT motor and sensor ports. It also provides a large number of the ...
