Building instructions

Building a robot has never been so easy. Follow the step-by-step building instructions and you'll be able to construct even the most complex robots, all with just the pieces that come in your NXT 2.0 set. Numerous highlights and arrows help you focus your attention on critical steps in the construction. A colored reference chart in the front cover makes it easy to localize the right axle, beam or pin in no time.

But the book isn't just a collection of ready-made projects. After you finish building and programming the main model as described, you are encouraged to further expand on the robot design. For example, once you've finished building the Explorer (which drives around) you'll be challenged to expand it by adding an attachment that can raise and lower a pen, so that the robot can write your name!

The book has a lay-flat binding, allowing it to lay open when in use without snapping shut. This is especially useful when following the building instructions.
