Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-03-19
Summary: The best LEGO guide available.
... THE UNOFFICIAL LEGO BUILDER'S GUIDE is the best "Overview" of the LEGO building system available hands down. The book has been written for beginners as well as more advanced builders. It's a great reference guide with tips, techniques and definitions for users of all ages. Anyone can buy and build a LEGO "set", but this book will give you the tools needed to build your own creations. Once those "sets" are in a hundred pieces and you want to try your hand at your own creation, this is the guide you will reach for to

Summary: Amazingly detailed
... Bedford's book offers everything and anything that one could consider useful to know about building with LEGO. I love the way he describes how to design things using grids and how to organize large collections of LEGO bricks. He's even designed a game in LEGO that others can play! I highly recommend this book to all ages of LEGO builders.

LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT: The Mayan Adventure (Technology in Action)
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-16 Summary: Good stuff for any roboticist ... At 43 years old I too was wondering if this was just for kids, but it definitely is not. It opens your mind to move beyond the following the step by step instructions in most all the other books out there. One must remember the kit was called Mindstorms for a reason, so you can develop your own ingenious creations. This book helps you do just that. As for the story, it is written in a mature fashion and is integrated perfectly to hold your interest, adult or child. My mind drifts back to those old movies with the Mummy, ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-02-24 Summary: A science project! ... I bought this to introduce my grandchildren to science projects. Their ages are 7 and 10. We have no special contest or competition to enter. Not sure exactly what I expected but I was not disappointed. This has awesome potential for learning. Actually, my grandkids were impressively advanced in what they could accomplish. The suggested robot to build was fairly complicated. My 10 yo took charge, with the 7 yo taking his turn. When completed I could not get close to the control computer. They took over!!! The kit could ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-13 Summary: Learning the process ... The value of this book is not in the number of documented designs, but how it teaches you the process to come up with your own designs. It even does it in a much more entertaining way then my engineering classes did. Understanding the design process allows you to create any number of robots that do what you want them to do and this is an invaluable life skill. That is what this book teaches you. It allows you to try to come up with the solutions on your own, or build the solutions the author came up with. My son and ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-11-10 Summary: Engaging and Helpful ... This book is a wonderful introduction into program and design with the NXT, and yes, we've been using the RCX as well. The book is well laid out. The story is engaging and gives the tasks purpose. I really like the templates provided in the book. It gives anyone a method of organizing their thoughts, so they can go ahead with the building and programming and know they're headed down the right path. I bought this for my children because I have no interest in robotics or programming, and I've enjoyed it as much as they ...more
Editorial Reviews ... Product Description | LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT has hit the world by storm, giving you the ability to build your own robots and program them to perform all types of actions.

You are along for the ride with Evan and his archaeologist uncle as they explore a Mayan pyramid complete with traps and treasures. Using a variety of NXT robots, the archaeology team is able to move deeper into the tomb...more
FIRST LEGO League: The Unofficial Guide
Customer Reviews [1] 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

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-24 Summary: Something for Rookie and Veteran FLL teams ... There is something for all FLL teams, both rookie and veterans in this book. Also, if you are checking out FLL and trying to decide if you want to begin a team, this is the place to get the information necessary to make that decision. I have been involved in FLL for over 6 years and I found helpful information as I read through FIRST LEGO League: The Unofficial Guide. All new FLL teams need this book. The whole program is laid out clearly, with not only necessary information, but also with much helpful additional information. ...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: 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
