An introduction to the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Kit through seven engaging projects.

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® MINDSTORMS® 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.

Praise for The LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor Activity Book

Reviews for Benedettelli's The LEGO Boost Activity Book:

"This book is the perfect way to get more from LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox."
—Adam White, BricksFanz
 
"It is hard to believe there is so much stuff in this one book, but there is. One way that happens is the subtle but measurable increase in format for this volume compared to other coding and STEM books by this and other publishers."
—Greg Laden
 
"Like all good educational books this one begins with the basics then builds upon them, introducing new concepts and techniques so that by the end of the book you've learned everything . . .  highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to take a more structured, grown-up, approach to learning how to program Boost."
—Huw Millington, Brickset
 
"The perfect choice for anyone who is starting their adventure into coding and robotics."
—Christmas Toys and Games, 1 of 3 Best Books on the LEGO Boost
 
"A lovely lesson-based book . . .  a great curriculum for learning or teaching basic robotics with BOOST. If you’re looking to get into LEGO robotics, this book is a perfect companion!"
—Little Brick Root
