Product Description
The creative minds behind The NXT STEP blog are back with a brand-new collection of innovative robots. Whether you're just getting started with LEGO robotics or have been building and programming robots for years, LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT One-Kit Wonders is packed with new and exciting techniques, advice, and robots that guarantee awesome results. And best of all, you'll only need one NXT Retail kit to build all ten of them!
LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT One-Kit Wonders will make it simple for you to construct even the most complex of these ten robots, all while you learn the ins and outs of the NXT kit. You'll learn to build and program:
- CandyPicker, a candy-picking robot with built-in generator and remote control
- PunchBot, a robot that you program using old-fashioned punchcards
- M, a robot that sorts your M&M candies by color
- NXT Dragster, a super-fast racecar that will take you all the way to the drag strip
- BobBot, a versatile skid-steer loader, equipped with a ball grabber or demolition claw
- RoboLock, a security system for your robots
- The Hand, a robotic replacement hand to protect you from those dangerous cleanup jobs, like picking up your brother's gym socks
- SPC, a robotic vehicle that can park itself between two objects using front-wheel drive
- GrabBot, a robot that finds, grabs, lifts and moves objects autonomously
- The Bike, a two-wheeled robot that can balance and steer
Armed with the knowledge you gain from this book, you'll be inventing your own amazing creations in no time.
Requirements: One LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT set (LEGO set #8527). Make sure you have this set, and not the NXT 2.0 set (#8547), which has different building elements.

| 30 of 31 people found the following review helpful  Robots that spark your imagination - In action video, By Laurens Valk "MINDSTORMS NXT Author" (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews This review is from: LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT One-Kit Wonders: Ten Inventions to Spark Your Imagination (Paperback)  If you're interested in LEGO Mindstorms NXT, you should take a look at the robots in this video review. LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT One-Kit Wonders has the building and programming instructions for these robots, and many more. There are no parts needed other than those in the NXT kit, making this book the ideal expansion to your Mindstorms NXT set. ::IMPORTANT NOTE:: This book is written for the original LEGO Mindstorms NXT (#8527) set, and requires the LEGO parts from just this one kit. As a result, it is NOT COMPATIBLE with the LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 (8547) version which has a different selection of LEGO parts, and came out in 2009...

But it was worth the wait. And yes - it was the autonomous bike that my 11 year old boy built first - and suprisingly (given its complexity) without any adult help. It is such a cool bike that my son does not want to take it apart to build the Bobcat, self parking car and the dragster (which is the model you see on the front cover). Any way - back to the book: - Quality of models: very good seletion from easy to moderately hard - Build Instructions: Extremely good - though it is black and white - Programming instructions: OK - Might need some help with younger kids - but OK. It would be nice if the publisher had the programs downloadable - it is a bit of a drag following the steps for a 11 year old. Overall, I love the models even from an adult point of view - a good combinations of machines and vehicles. The right...

I was intrigued enough to order it along with the NXT 2.0 set, based on the Amazon recommendation. This book uses parts that are not in the NXT 2.0 (especially gears). You can not build some of these projects with just the parts in the NXT 2.0 set. As a novice to these kits I didn't know enough about them to even consider the differences. Now I need to find the pieces that I need to actually build these projects, because they are too compelling to ignore. I like the book, just beware of the differences between the older NXT set and the newer NXT 2.0 set. |
