    • My students LOVED the Projects
My students thoroughly enjoyed creating and testing the "Rock, Paper, Scissors Wrist Game" project (I did too). They got so excited to play the game and then tried to see who's robot could win against the other robots. As a teacher, it was wonderful because it taught them how to use several sensors including the three-axis accelerometer and three-axis gyroscope included inside the Spike Prime hub - which is a new exciting feature. This book also includes instructions on how to make a "Remote Control Program" in the "Building an Industrial Robot Class" lesson which is unique to the LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Inventor kit. I would recommend this book for the classroom, or at home ideas for kids. ... show more

    • An incredible resource for teachers, coaches, and parents!
I've been using LEGO Mindstorms for more than 10 years (as a teacher, FLL coach, and parent), and I wish Aaron had published this book back when I got started! It's full of incredibly unique projects with easy-to-follow building instructions, easy-to-understand code that can be used with the projects, and countless online resources that go well beyond the books 422 pages. I would highly recommend this book to anyone just getting started with LEGO Mindstorms as well as experienced users who are looking for some fresh new ideas that they can use with their teams, students, or children! ... show more

    • Great Book for Beginners
This book is quite thick and has a lot of projects that you can do with your LEGO kits. I really liked that the fact that it could be used for education or for fun since the projects include items like the guitar. There are images in the book so you can follow along when you are building your project. It is evident that the author knows what they are doing when it comes to robotics and LEGOs. This is a great find and I recommend it to parents, robotics coaches, and LEGO enthusiasts. ... show more

    • Great book for all ages.
Aaron's book is great for leaneres of all ages. My nephew's (5 and 7) where guided through some great projects and they learned a lot along the way. The projects were diverse, also allowed us to remix and make them their own along the way. Being able to download the project files was a massive help too. I would recommend this book to the home audience wanting to do more with lego robotics as well as for the class room. Great work looking forward to the next one! ... show more
