The LEGO MINDOSTORMS NXT Zoo! An Unofficial Kid-Friendly Guide To Building Robotic Animals With LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT
LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Zoo! offers step-by-step instructions
for building nine animal robots with the NXT Robotics
System. Using the book's detailed building and programming
instructions, kids (and their parents) are introduced to the
MINDSTORMS NXT kit as they build animal-like models of a
rabbit, spider, peacock, stegosaurus,
and more! But these
models don't just sit there-they walk, crawl, hop, and roll.
The book will also show you how to make the models sound
like the real animals that inspired them. Troubleshooting
tips help builders avoid common pitfalls and parts lists
make sure they have everything they need before building. An
appendix includes ideas for teachers using these models in
the classroom.
