  1. It is a excellent book to construct a robot. The book provide more phyiscal knowledge. You can unstand the NXT well by this book. I recommand and like this book strongly!

  2. Great book with lots of ideas on NXT robot building. The author, Mario Ferrari, does an excellent job of describing each and bringing unique ideas to the table.

  3. A good book with clear explanations and a non-intimidating style for beginners.

    A more detailed look at the NXT-G programming language would have been helpful, as this is the program that comes with the NXT retail kit.

  4. Very detailed book about Mindstorms. It has been fun to work on the concepts with my 11 yearold son. We look forward to building more advance robots as we learn more. Great into to programing and engineering for kids.

  5. I coach an FLL team and have about a dozen NXT books. Many of them are great but this one is probably the most valuable. It focuses on fundamental concepts, that once grasped open up a world of possibilities.

    This is not a “follow the instructions and build the ball bot” kind of book (although I love those too) but it is packed with valuable information. The info on differential gears is worth the price alone.

    If you are an FLL coach – especially one like me who does not have a mech engineering background (I am a software guy) — I recommend this for you.
