Reader Reviews
Learn how to build your own prize-winning robot with Science Fair success! This book teaches the fundamentals of robotics, from motor to wheel alignment and step by step instructions for the construction of a real robot. The book also includes biographical references and easy reference tools such as a table of contents and index. The illustrations in this book are all black & white photographs that come from multiple sources. The black & white photos do NOT hinder the book in the slightest. In fact the photos help to enhance the step by step instructions and help to give full detail of what the ending results of a finished robot should look like. The author also supplies readers with several comprised lists: WHERE TO FIND ROBOTIC COMPETITIONS; WHERE TO FIND ROBOT KITS & SUPPLIES; HOW TO GET INVOLVED IN ROBOTIC CLUBS & ORGANIZATIONS; and an additional list of SUGGESTED READINGS & INTERNET SITES. Surprisingly, after checking the majority of referenced web-addresses most seemed to still work - not sure how long that will last though. OVERALL - this is a terrific introduction to robotics for kids ages 9 to 12. Comment | | (Report this)
