The Unofficial LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Inventor's Guide
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-17
Summary: An excellent LEGO MINDSTORMS book for both beginners and advanced builders alike
... These are my first impressions on David Purdue's book, I will follow up later when I finish reading it. So far what I can say is that it differs from other No Starch Press books in many ways. For starters, the quality of the images (in grayscale) is very much improved. I found no difficulty following the building instructions which David managed to keep simple and well commented. I would not say it is as if they were in color, but it is close enough. In other No Starch books I really did have problems in that area,

Summary: Fun, helpful, informative for beginner and intermediate
... I've had NXT for about 10 months and have three other books. I wish I had know about this first. My strong point is programming, my weak point is gearing and this is the only book that really shows how to build gear trains. I love rover bots and have designed many but he has several fresh takes on the genre. His ball caster is much more elegant than mine and his bumper is quite sturdy. (My method of picking a random angle for a turn is better than his though: random block set for 0 to 6 wired to a switch block with

Summary: A great book!
... This book is a very helpful guide. It tells you everything that you need to make a good robot, from building a sturdy structure to programming it. With this book, you will be able to explore the full potential of your robot kit. Beside basic instructions, the book also has 6 projects to give you a hand-on experience. Each project has both building and programming guides. The building guide is made very careful; beside the picture, it also has a clear written instruction to make the building task easier. I use this

Summary: Excellent first book for Lego Mindstorms
... If you are new to Lego Mindstorms then you are also probably new to Lego Technics. This book not only covers how to program robots but also how to build them with Lego Technics parts and makes use of many well laid out and easy to follow diagrams. This book should be included with every lego Mindstorms set.

The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Idea Book: Design, Invent, and Build
Customer Reviews [1] 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
[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: 5 Date: 2008-03-19 Summary: Very Interesting Book On NXT Robots ... Lots Of good information on NXT G-code,Bluetooth programming for the NXT, and an informative guide to designing your NXT bots.I thought this book was well worth the money. The "LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT-G Programming Guide (Technology in Action) is a very good intro to this book. ...more

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides)
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-09 Summary: An improvement ... This guide is much better than the one for LEGO Star Wars. Better presentation, better maps...overall much clearer. You probably won't use this one as much as the book for LEGO Star Wars since the game seems to be slightly easier. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-21 Summary: good game guide overall ... this is a good game guide for fans of the indiana jones franchise. the only problem i had was the basic layout of the guide. the installments of the films aren't separated clearly enough for me. otherwise, it's a good guide to use. there are a good amount of levels to complete. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-19 Summary: My 7 Year Old Loved it and read it for weeks!!! ... My son had played the game many times before I bought him this book. He read it cover to cover several times and learned a lot of tricks and how to finish many of the levels he was stuck on. Great pictures. I loved looking it over as well! ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-01 Summary: Could have been 5 stars ... I really wanted to give this book 5 stars since it helped me a HUGE amount in finishing the game to 100% completion. However, it should be noted that the book is full of errors. Most are no big deal and might not even be noticed (like the mislabelling of chapters) but the ones that really burned me are the incorrect achievements. While the count of 50 achievements is correct, some of them are just plain wrong. For example, in the game, there is no achievement for completing story mode under 2 hours. However, I was ...more

Lego Crazy Action Contraptions: A Lego Inventions Book (Klutz)
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-03 Summary: Hours of fun ... This has many fun and challenging activities a child can do with Legos. The projects use the pieces that come with the book plus basic pieces most Lego fans will already own. Easy to follow directions with fun results. The child can use the basic ideas and expand upon them, so this kit isn't limited as some are. We got it for my son's 10th birthday and I think it would be appropriate for an 8 to 14 year old. ...more
[2] 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
[3] 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
[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

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides)
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-19 Summary: Very useful for blue canisters ... In my recent trip to Mcallen, I've see it in a Toy'R'Us (more expensive than Amazon), but for a strange reason I did not bought. Now I'm seeing that is very useful, because the game (that is very easy) did not explain a lot of things, and maps are the most unvaluable help in this guide, because you have only 10 minutes to search blue canisters. Every thing is showed with a lot of precision ande make more dinamic the game. ...more
