Robot Building for Beginners consists of all new material that doesn’t exist on this web site. Highly recommended. Teens to adults. Here’s a detailed look at the chapters.

Highly recommended. College students to adults. Here’s a detailed look at the chapters.
Truly an excellent book from very talented builders!
Tons of clear photographs with complete instructions for multiple robots and related experiments. Lots of tips and tricks.
There are two things I like most about this book: First, the authors concentrate on recycling as many techno-trash parts as possible, which overcomes the cost barrier that many robot hobbyists encounter. Second, the designs are extremely different from the two-wheeled robots that I tend to build. Their fascinating (yet easy to build) robots are much like insects in appearance, movement, and behavior.
