5.0 out of 5 stars
A very fun book to own!! Would be great for kids.,
This review is from: Robot Invasion: 7 Cool and Easy Robot Projects (Paperback)
I don't have kids, but, if I did this would be the first book I bought to teach them about the fascinating world of robotics!
For me the most fun came with building Project 7 - The Robot Arm, I had hours of enjoyment experimenting with my LEGO Mindstorms set and using the graphical programming language to control the arm. After that I interfaced the Robot Arm to my Commodore 128 computer. (Yes, you read that right! LOL, I still use my trusty old C128!) contact me for a link to the webpage with pictures of my project. I also enjoyed the introductory chapter "A World of Robots". The author gives a bit of history on robotics and he also discusses Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, which if you know anything at all about robotics you have undoubtedly heard of Asimov's classic laws. Also Project 5 (Combat On The Computer Screen) is another great project to do. You can download software that allows you to build virtual combat robots on your computer screen and then turn them loose to rip each other apart. It's the cyber version of the TV show Battlebots. I guarantee you will have fun with this. This book contains something for everyone; you will not be disappointed with your purchase! |
