[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-10-24 Summary: Wonderful Book That Needs Color!!!!! ... 'The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Idea Book: Design, Invent, and Build' is an absolutely wonderful book with one MAJOR flaw in that the entire book is in black and white. Packed with 16 chapters written wonderfully with exciting examples and content, this would have been a easy 5 star recommendation but I simply cannot do that. Legos are bold, bright, and full of color, the decision to publish this in black and white was a terrible one. I understand this decision was made to no doubt save costs, but it shouldn't have been published ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-01-06 Summary: Great book ... The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Idea Book: Design, Invent, and Build I read this book and I really enjoyed it. This was the first Mindstorms book that I read and it was really easy to understand and got me off to a quick start. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars was that the graphics and text are printed on an off white background and it made it a little harder to read and the graphics themselves are all black and white and some of them were a little hard to figure out the robot designs because of it. But dont let ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-06-09 Summary: Very Informational! ... You would need this book if you own the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Kit. Can't get it work without it! ...more

Lego Crazy Action Contraptions: A Lego Inventions Book (Klutz)
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-01-02 Summary: another outstanding Klutz product! ... My son is a huge lego fan. We have a billion pieces and he is constantly creating new ships and designs with them. This kit is a really neat addition to his collection. It has UNIQUE pieces I have not seen anywhere else, and has directions for 10 fun contraptions the kids can make. 5 of them have all the pieces included in the kit. 5 of them require other standard lego pieces that any lego fan will have in the house. My son made the balloon-powered car last night and played with it for hours. I highly recommend this ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-17 Summary: We all love it! ... We got this for our four year old at the time. He is almost 7 now, and we all still enjoy choosing instructions from this book to work on together. I do think the pouch is a little small for all the pieces. The zip line "robot" as my kids call it doesn't work so great, but otherwise, we've enjoyed all the projects - takes between 8 and 15 minutes to build one, if we don't stop to play together. I agree that if the child is 8 or older, this would be something they would need very little help with. Of course, you need ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-04 Summary: The best addition to any Lego collection ... My son has a HUGE bin of Legos and enjoys building and rebuilding. This box/kit really challenges him. The best part is most of the contraptions have a function. He loves the candy dispenser made with Legos and rubber bands. I highly recommend this for any Lego lover! ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-05 Summary: legos to go ... My ten year old loves legos ... and I love peace and quiet in the car! This product worked out great as a "trip treat", the bag was great so he could keep track of them. We use an aluminum cake pan with a plastic cover for a lego desk/holder in the car, but the book with a bag made it so he could take it into the hotel and restaurant with no fuss ... and isn't that what every mom really wants ??? no fuss??? GO LEGOS!!!!!!!! ...more

Extreme NXT: Extending the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT to the Next Level (Technology in Action)
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-07-06 Summary: One of the Best Available! ... Reviewer J. Doubek, said it best - "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." And that is very true! I cannot add much more to his review... This book is the 'Make' book for the NXT. The authors have explained everything so any builder of any age or skill level can understand the processes. It teaches several techniques that can be developed into viable career skills. Including soldering, ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-02-25 Summary: This book saved my robot ... This book is excellent -- clear, detailed, and well-organized. And it always seems to have just the information I need. To give a specific example: I was recently trying to prepare a robot for a local fire-fighting contest, and was counting on using a HiTechnic interface board to connect up one or more Sharp analog distance sensors. But the HiTechnic board didn't work for me, and the deadline was looming. I flipped through Extreme NXT, and there in Chapter 8 was the solution: a simple circuit for that does exactly ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-05-06 Summary: Excellent! ... 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 most useful homebrew sensor implementations, right down to parts lists containing part numbers for common component suppliers like Digikey and Radio Shack. My background is in engineering, with an emphasis in control systems. ...more
