[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-04-13 Summary: Teach Young Roboticists Engineering Design with Lego NXT 2.0 ... I have reviewed several books on Lego Mindstorms NXT, unfortunately most other books provide the young robotics student with pre-designed robots to build and insert pre-written code which only allows the Mindstroms NXT system to serve as an interesting toy; but these books provide little to inspire creativity on the part of the young student. This book refreshingly takes a totally different approach; the hobbyist is presented with an interesting story and a set of problems to solve with their Mindstorms Robot; then ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-06 Summary: Superb! ... We purchased this book for my 15 and 9 year old boys who received a Mindstorms NXT 2.0 robot for Christmas.

The book is well laid out, interesting to read, and easy to follow. As an engineer myself, I really like how the author teaches critical thinking and problem solving. The problem solving sheets included (and downloadable from the publisher's ...more

While some other reviewers point out that it's possible to find more detailed instructions on-linem for children & on-the-go players, I think this book is the solution. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-02 Summary: Explains a difficult topic ... I bought this book as an experiment because I really wanted to teach my students to use Java on their NXTs. I was surprised by how well the book explains C programming on the NXT and delighted by the many excellent examples. We were able to get a program running on the first day.

It is very complete. The versa bot that is detailed ...more
