5.0 out of 5 stars A quality book

1.0 out of 5 stars A good book for children w/ no knowledge in robotics.
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.
