Résumé

Building Robots with Lego Mindstorms explains how to build robots using Lego bricks and components. Part One describes the lure of the hobby, and why Lego is an ideal system for beginners. Part Two moves into the practical aspects of robot building, discussing the basics of mechanics, motors, sensors, pneumatics, and navigation, and offering a variety of tips and tricks. Part Three surveys a wide range of possible ideas for building, with the idea of inspiring the creative impulses of the reader rather than offering models for simple replication.
