Summary:

The Ultimate Tool for MINDSTORMS® Maniacs
The new MINDSTORMS kit has been updated to include a programming brick, USB cable, RJ11-like cables, motors, and sensors. This book updates the robotics information to be compatible with the new set and to show how sound, sight, touch, and distance issues are now dealt with.

The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT and its predecessor, the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robotics Invention System (RIS), have been called "the most creative play system ever developed." This book unleashes the full power and potential of the tools, sensors, and components that make up LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT. It also provides a unique insight on newer studless building techniques as well as interfacing with the traditional studded beams. Some of the world's leading LEGO MINDSTORMS inventors share their knowledge and development secrets. You will discover an incredible range of ideas to inspire your next invention. This is the ultimate insider's look at LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT system and is the perfect book whether you build world-class competitive robots or just like to mess around for the fun of it.

If you want to REALLY understand the NXT...
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I coach an FLL team and have about a dozen NXT books. Many of them are great but this one is probably the most valuable. It focuses on fundamental concepts, that once grasped open up a world of possibilities.

This is not a "follow the instructions and build the ball bot" kind of book (although I love those too) but it is packed with valuable information. The info on differential gears is worth the price alone.

If you are an FLL coach - especially one like me who does not have a mech engineering background (I am a software guy) -- I recommend this for you.

Great book to learn more about Mindstorms
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

Very detailed book about Mindstorms. It has been fun to work on the concepts with my 11 yearold son. We look forward to building more advance robots as we learn more. Great into to programing and engineering for kids.

Great book
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

Great book with lots of ideas on NXT robot building. The author, Mario Ferrari, does an excellent job of describing each and bringing unique ideas to the table.

Good Book
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

A good book with clear explanations and a non-intimidating style for beginners.

A more detailed look at the NXT-G programming language would have been helpful, as this is the program that comes with the NXT retail kit.

Inspirational
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

This book is just fantastic. Starts out with the basics for building strong stable robots, and moves on to more complex ideas. Great examples of robots throughout the book which will provide ideas for building your own masterpiece.
It doesn't have step by step instructions, and is more of an ideas book for NXT enthusiasts.
I'd recommend this for your home or Robotics club library.
