Excellent book documenting some of the hidden secrets in FIRST Robotics Challenge

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 8, 2011

This is an excellent book providing some of the hidden secrets of some of the best teams in the FIRST Robotics Challenge. It profiles a variety of teams and focuses on different aspects of the teams' design process. For those coaches, mentors and teams that are looking for ideas on how to improve their design processes or gather ideas on how to improve designs, this is a must have book.

I am a mentor in first robotics and was looking for something to explain how some of these great robots were designed so I thought this book would be perfect since it has "behind the design" in the title but unfortunately there wasn't the detail I was looking for. It has a lot of pictures and nice stories but not so much raw design detail that I was looking for.

I wish I had found this book the first year that I sponsored a FIRST Robotics team. It shows the design process from concept to competition for the most successful teams. There are lots of good ideas here for starting teams. Buy the Rack N Roll book also

FIRST Robots interesting read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 9, 2012

I purchased the book this year because ball shooters were featured for the game that was played that year and is being played in 2012 for the FIRST robotics FRC competition. In one chapter, Team 1114, Simbotics, used a 4 wheel shooter, the same design that many teams seem to have tried this year.

I ordered this to help with a project I am worked on at school as a teacher and robotics sponsor. This book was helpful and in perfect condition. It shipped quickly and I had no issues.

This book is an interesting general review, where you can check how roboticians develop their projects, but dont expect enought information to learn.
