5.0 out of 5 stars
A quality book, July 13, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Ramblin' Robots: Building a Breed of Mechanical Beasts (Venture Books--Science) (Paperback)
When I first picked up this book I had only a minor interest in robotics. It was very readable and made the whole subject seem exciting. It has inspired me to try to get involved in the robotics club at my high school and one day I may even have a robot of my own!

A good book for children w/ no knowledge in robotics., April 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Ramblin' Robots: Building a Breed of Mechanical Beasts (Venture Books--Science) (Paperback)
The author says that the book is geared towards 7th-12th graders, but the book is far more basic than that. If you don't know a thing about robots or robotics, or would like to interest a child in robotics - this would be a good book to get.
If you already know about robotics, and are pursuing it, this would not be a good purchase. The book has no how-to information, only what the robot does.
The information in the book is most often a picture and name of a robot, who it was built by, what the robot does, and what sensors it uses. I already knew about every mentioned robot, before I purchased the book just by surfing the internet.
