The LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Robot Inventor Idea Book explores dozens of creative ways to build amazing mechanisms with the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor set. Each model includes a list of the required parts, minimal text, screenshots of the program, and colorful photographs from multiple angles so you can figure out exactly where all the parts go without the need for step-by-step building instructions. You'll learn to work with motors and sensors, build robots that can walk or drive themselves, and create practical fools for lifting, opening doors, drawing, and even launching projectiles-as well as other creative marvels. Each model demonstrates simple mechanical principles that you can use as building blocks for your own creations. You'll be inspired to combine mechanisms, or adapt them into your own toys, cars, games, and more. Best of all, every part you need to build these machines comes in one kit: the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor set (#51515)! Book jacket.
