10 Cool LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Invention System 2 Projects

Each of the ten cool robots in this book is presented using a method that makes its construction as easy and intuitive as possible. Each chapter begins with a picture of the completed robot, accompanied by a brief introduction to the robot’s history, its unique challenges and characteristics, as well as any concerns that the robot’s creator wants you to be aware of during construction.

Building your robots is, or course, only half the fun! Getting them to run using the RCX brick is what distinguishes MINDSTORMS robots from ordinary models created with LEGO bricks. Some of the robots in this book will use the programs that come hard-wired into the RCX brick. Many of them will use unique programs that the authors have written specifically for their robots. Keep an eye out for the black and white syngress.com icons scattered throughout the book.
