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

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

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: 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

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-08-25 Summary: pretty cool, not many designs though. ... I ordered this book, not really knowing what was in it. its very detailed, and has funny pictures of the author posing with the gun in combat fatigues. but only 1 gun design is included plus one variation of that gun. this "book" is more magazine sized. that said, it's very cool. price isn't bad, so if you really like lego, get it, it's worth it for a neat project... ...more

Getting Started with LEGO Trains
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-01-03 Summary: Recommended for real Lego Train fans ... This book delivers pretty much what you would expect. The first part covers some general background on the Lego 9V train system (if you are looking for info on the newer RC stuff, this book is not for you). The second part gives detailed building instructions for some cars and an engine. The last chapter gives some track layout ideas. The book is written in a very to-the-point style and very well illustrated. The projects suggested are very nice, though it might be hard finding some of the parts Jake suggests using. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2004-12-16 Summary: Mainstream LEGO train documentation ... Well written, lots of research, with the three model diagrams being the highlight of this book. Beginners will have to put the book down, get the bricks they need, then come back to build McKee's great designs. I would have ordered the designs a bit differntly, however, with easier designs first, leading up to the more complicated engine design. There's a lot of good reference here, and the author is quite thorough when following through on his assumed intentions to introduce LEGO trains into the mainstream. He's broken ...more

What a wonderful book for LEGO Train lovers... this is a REALLY solid book containing detailed yet easy-to-use plans for making all types of trains... the production quality of the book is excellent--with high quality renderings, photos, and well written supporting text. Excellent work--and a must-read for those who aspire to do such quality design work (both 3D and actual LEGO bricks). ...more

LEGO Modelers: Fabulous Figures (Modelers, LEGO)
Customer Reviews — [1] 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.
