I've been using LEGO robotics for more than 10 years and this book has reinvigorated my hobby. It is extremely well-written with unique projects that are easy to follow and understand. The creativity extends beyond the exciting robotic projects into the programming and code provided as well. The various different builds including R2D2 and the Boost Race Car (my personal favorites) are sure to be a hit for students and LEGO fans alike. Highly recommended.

There are so many fun and unique projects included in this book that it will keep you and your kids busy for a long time. The instructions are clear and take the frustration out of learning to work with Lego robots. I would definitely recommend this for kids and adults that have an interest in robotics but don't know where to begin.
