Lots of helpful information.:
The first part of the book covers the basics and includes why to do it. The construction examples are not as detailed as "10 Cool LEGO Mindstorms Ultimate Builder Projects: Amazing Projects You Can Build in Under an Hour." You might want to build some from the other book first. Definitely build some easier projects first.
Good book but not NXT:
I bought this book to get a better understanding of the Mindstorm NXT system. While this book is very interesting, it does not cover NXT -- so the descriptions of the programming, the sensors, even the basic lego pieces do not match what you'd get in a NXT package.
Very good book about a very cool system.:
MindStorms is an absolutely fascinating robot building system for children, adults, and those who don't fit well into either category. This book helps you delve more deeply into the principles behind making really cool robots with MindStorms. The opportunities for learning are just never-ending, and at the same time, the limitless fun anyone can have, from pre-teen to geezer, makes the learning very rewarding. This book helps open this potential. This book takes you beyond the step-by-step instructions... more info
