At last, fans of the LEGO BOOST robot building kit have the learning
resource they've been missing! Enter The LEGO BOOST Activity Book a
full-color guide that will help readers learn how to build and code LEGO
creations that move, explore their environment, grab and lift objects,
and more.
The LEGO BOOST kit lets younger builders create fun, multifunctional
robots by combining bricks with code, but it doesn't come with a manual.
With the help of this complete guide to the LEGO BOOST set, you'll be on
your way to building and programming BOOST robots in no time.
You'll begin your exploration by building a basic rover robot called
MARIO to help you learn the fundamentals of the BOOST programming
environment. Next, you'll add features to your rover to control its
movement and make it repeat actions and react to colors and sounds. Once
you've learned some programming basics, you'll learn how to program your
robot to do things like follow lines on the ground, scan its environment
to decide where to go, and even play darts. As final projects, you'll
create two complete robots: BrickPecker to help you organize your bricks
and CYBOT, a robot that talks, shoots objects, and executes voice
commands.
As you advance through the book, optional lessons aim to deepen your
understanding of basic robotics concepts. Brain BOOSter sections let you
dig into the math and engineering behind your builds while a host of
experiments seek to test your skills and encourage you to do more with
your robots. With countless illustrations, extensive explanations, and a
wealth of coding examples to guide you, The LEGO BOOST Activity Book
is sure to take you from beginning builder to robotics whiz and give
your robot-building brain that needed boost!
