The Unofficial LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Inventor's Guide
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-19 Summary: A great book! ... This book is a very helpful guide.

Beside basic instructions, the book also has 6 projects to give you a hand-on experience. Each project has both building and programming guides.

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-23 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. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-11 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 ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-24 Summary: Fantastic manual to the Mindstorms NXT ... I'm a coach of a FIRST LEGO League team and I bought this book to help my son "get to the next level." I am making this book mandatory for every team member next season! It is informative, yet easy to read. It covers all the bases from good robot design to programming explanations. I can't recommend it enough! ...more
The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Idea Book: Design, Invent, and Build
Customer Reviews — [1] 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
[2] 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
[3] 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
[4] 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

FIRST LEGO League: The Unofficial Guide
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-10-03 Summary: Great Book, Still No Color ... I've reviewed a copule of these LEGO books by No Starch and I think they are all well written and have great content but until I see one of these in color I cannot give 5 stars. Publishers these books simply NEED color. LEGOs are a dynamic topic and just throwing together a B&W book is not the right solution to creating the best book you can. Having said that, this book is another great release content-wise. You'll discover everything you need to have the best FL League you can. Chapter Listing: 01. First LEGO League ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-19 Summary: A must-have book! ... This is a must-have book if you plan to participate in any LEGO robotics competition. The book is a comprehensive guide from finding equipments to building and programming techniques. This book has so many tips and tricks that will help you to do well in the competition. For example, the book shows me how to brace my design, how to position the robot precisely so that it will hit the target, and how to help the robot to self-align itself, just to name a few. The book is written clear and concise. It only took me 2 ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2001-02-24 Summary: Good for adult fans of Lego too! ... Even though it's short, this book has some great ideas to springboard from. Enjoy a collection of the sort of figures that Lego puts in their Legoland theme parks, with full details on how to make them yourself. Several of them are also articulated. This one's well worth the price. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2000-04-05 Summary: Really Keeps Him Busy! ... My 4yr old Grandson really loves finding "people" he wants to make and at least trying to do it himself.

Maximum Lego NXT: Building Robots with Java Brains
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-08-24 Summary: A Great Start ... Although the book sounds otherwise, it is in fact a good start for advanced programmers. A lot of the code does not work right out of the box, but provides a good starting point for advanced programmers to build on. If you are a beginning java programmer, this book probably is not for you because it deals with concepts that are incomplete as described in the book, but an intermediate-to-advanced programmer can take these concepts and modify them as need be and quickly make easy projects more advanced. Overall, I think ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-10-14 Summary: Java Brains - Its a good read for the NXT geek ... I bought this book specifically to get some information on the NXT and some building ideas. The book has easily met my expectations in these areas. There are some great ideas for building robots and a bunch of good info about building techniques and the effective use of sensors. I don't plan on programming in Java (I prefer C), however the ideas and code in the book are easily transferable to any programming language. There are detailed building instructions and excellent examples that I haven't found in any other ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-07-17 Summary: Maximum Lego NXT: Building Robots with Java Brains ... If you are one of those Java guys, hands on, and a mechanical control lover, this is a book you don't want to miss. From programming point of view, some very useful topics are Bluetooth setup (both Window and Linux), Serial Communication setup, Vision detection, and Voice Control. You will be amazed of how you can realize those technologies into controlling an NXT. There are still many other interesting subjects from machanical/control point of view. This includes using GPS receiver(where you can learn NMEA Data format). ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-28 Summary: Excellent Book ... Despite the nasty reviews surrounding this book, I strongly dis-agree. I thought this book was extremely helpful. I am a java programmer but my work is in the data integration area. This book really helped me to step out of the box and start programming movement between motors,sensors,etc. I enjoy all of Brian's writings, blogs, books, etc. You won't find a better book about programming NXT bricks with Java. And who expects a 12 year old to pick up this book and understand? It's a book most suitable for experienced ...more
