The creative minds behind the NXT Step blog (thenxtstep.com) are back with a brand new collection of innovative robots. LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT One-Kit Wonders is packed with building and programming instructions for ten exciting robots. The book dives headfirst into the creative thrill of robot-building with models like Grabbot, a robot that finds, grabs, lifts, and moves objects autonomously; Dragster, a super-fast drag racing vehicle; and The Hand, a simple robotic replacement hand to protect you from those dangerous cleanup jobs, like picking up your brother's dirty gym socks. To further fire your imagination, you'll also learn how to build a self-parking car model, an M&M sorter, and a punchcard reading robot.

Step by step building instructions make it simple to construct even the most complex models while the detailed programming instructions teach you how a NXT program really works. All of the models in the book can be built with just the basic NXT Retail kit; there are no extra parts to locate or buy.

Armed with the knowledge you gain from this book, you'll be inventing your own amazing creations in no time. LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT One-Kit Wonders is perfect for readers who have enjoyed the other books in the No Starch LEGO series as well as for builders who want to get starting creating right away. Appropriate for kids (10+), parents, educators, and LEGO fans of all ages.
