Customer Review: 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... more info
Customer Review: I have an eight year old that loves Mindstorms and needs the step-by-step instructions that Lego generally provides. Looks great for older kids. Also, its NOT NXT.
Customer Review: The following review was written by Ben, one of my 4th graders. He has used this book in class to build some of the robots: Pros: cool robots, nice designs, easy to find most pieces Cons: Takes a while to build them, sometimes they don't work This book has very cool robots but I don't... more info
Customer Review: I found the projects interesting and the introduction to Not Quite C NQC excellent. The author demonstrates how to connect the touch sensors and light sensors physically and then add programming code to control the logic that produces power from the central processor to a motor that powers a gear.... more info

Customer Review: The assembly diagrams are hard to follow, occasionally calling for parts not included in the set and the robots are flimsy and generally don't work. The book is no longer supported by the publisher even though the cover gives a web address for a free additional robot plan. The only thing to learn... more info
Customer Review: Even though this book is geared toward kids, I would not say it is completely "Kid friendly" especially if you just got the Lego NXT. If you want to build the frog, rabbit, or skunk you have to have the education resource kit in addition to the base kit. You will need even more parts to make the SIX... more info
Customer Review: I bought this book for my seven year old son. He finds it difficult to understand the images. I have to constantly help him to build the models. I think if the images were colored he might have had a better chance of understanding. I very well understand that would have increased the price of the... more info
Customer Review: This is a very well written book. You can tell from the text that Mr. Sato is an expert at Mindstorms.
Unfortunately, the book covers chapter after chapter of project parts and programming code that do not ship with the $200 LEGO Mindstorms: Robotics Invention System 2.0 718 piece kit. If you are... more info
