I learned some things that I needed to know from this book, about programming the original Mindstorms robotics processor. The construction instructions, however, leave a bit to be desired. The photos are not sharp, and in at least one case the photo displayed with the parts and instructions does not correspond to that step. It is about one-half step advanced, which made for some real confusion because it did not correspond to either step in the assembly sequence. I eventually got the model working as described, after starting completely over once, and then spending some time staring alternately at the photo in question and my model at that step until I figured out what the author had done.Considering that the original version of Mindstorms robotics is very obsolete,

Your an adult that never grew out of loving toys, an engineer at heart, and have been bitten by the Lego Mindstorms Robotics Invention Set. Ya have built everything in the Constructopedia, met all of the challenges but are now looking to go beyond the box. Where do you start? Jonathan Knudsen's Unofficial Guide to Ledo Mindstorms may be one of the best answers. He does a great job with construction tips, and provides a great survey of programming alternatives such as NQC, pbForth, and LegOS. He also has some insight into constructing your own sensors. Best of all, each chapter concludes with links to relevant sites on the WWW. I highly recommend it!

If you are fed up with the dearth of programming information given you by LEGO with their Robotics Invention System, then get this book and download the code from the sites cited (pun intended) and really play LEGO robots! Jon Knudsen really knows his stuff. I found this fascinating reading and would have liked to have seen more pics of robots and more about the coding. However it is a good "I did it my way and so can you" book - I heartily recommend this book
