Customer Review: I had received this book on Christmas along with the Lego Mindstorms NXT (a good product) but, was disappointed to find out that I couldn't build anything in this book.

Customer Review: I'm a high school computer science and robotics teacher. This book is perfect! The projects can each serve as the centerpiece for discussion of a particular aspect of robotics, whether exhibiting autonomous, remote control, assembly-line, or human enhancement behaviors.

Customer Review: I bought this book to get a better understanding of the Mindstorm NXT system. While this book is very interesting, it does not cover NXT -- so the descriptions of the programming, the sensors, even the basic lego pieces do not match what you'd get in a NXT package.
Customer Review: This book is excellent -- clear, detailed, and well-organized. And it always seems to have just the information I need. To give a specific example: I was recently trying to prepare a robot for a local fire-fighting contest, and was counting on using a HiTechnic interface board to connect up one... more info
