Randy Forgaard said Truly excellent!. This book (and it's prequel, Robot Building for Beginners by the same author) is extraordinarily good. It picks up where the previous book (which is the best book in existence for the beginning roboticist, in my opinion) leaves off, getting into details of milling parts, microcontroller circuits, and such. A truly wonderful book. If you read the previous book, and then read this book, you will have an excellent grounding in robotics, and have a very entertaining time doing it. Highly recommended!. This book is a Staple for any Robot Enthusiast's bookshelf Nicholas Cherney This book is a Staple for any Robot Enthusiast's bookshelfDavid Cook does it again! His first book Robot Building for Beginners has become my bible for the fundamentals of building robots. When searching college websites, I've even seen classes created around it (if you don't believe me do a google search). Needless to say, I've had extremely high expectations and anticipations for his next work. Put it this way. I received his book at 10:30am this morning in the mail at work. I started reading it duri. Back Cover // Table of Contents Since there is no description what-so-ever about this book, let me copy the back cover and table of contents. This way I won't leave something out and run off on a tangent and run out of room for this review. I hope you appreciate my soon-to-be cramped fingersBack Cover: "For readers of `Robot Building for Beginners', welcome to the next level.
