An introduction to the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Kit through
seven engaging projects.
With its amazing assortment of bricks, motors, and smart sensors, the
LEGO(R) MINDSTORMS(R) Robot Inventor set opens the door to a
physical-meets-digital world. The LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor
Activity Book expands that world into an entire universe of incredibly
fun, uniquely interactive robotic creations! Using the Robot Inventor
set and a device that can run the companion app, you'll learn how to
build bots beyond your imagination--from a magical monster that gobbles
up paper and answers written questions, to a remote-controlled
transformer car that you can drive, steer, and shape-shift into a
walking humanoid robot at the press of a button.
Author and MINDSTORMS master Daniele Benedettelli, a robotics expert,
takes a project-based approach as he leads you through an increasingly
sophisticated collection of his most captivating robot models, chapter
by chapter. Each project features illustrated step-by-step building
instructions, as well as detailed explanations on programming your
robots through the MINDSTORMS App--no coding experience required.
As you build and program an adorable pet turtle, an electric guitar that
lets you shred out solos, a fully functional, whiz-bang pinball machine
and more, you'll discover dozens of cool building and programming
techniques to apply to your own LEGO creations, from working with gears
and motors, to smoothing out sensor measurement errors, storing data in
variables and lists, and beyond. By the end of this book, you'll have
all the tools, talent and inspiration you need to invent your own LEGO
MINDSTORMS robots.
