With easy to understand diagrams and programs, this book not only teaches but engages the builder to build something new with its models and contraptions. This a book that can and should be used by anyone who has a Robot Inventor set to see what the set can do!"—Joe Meno, Brick Journal"No Starch Press has done it again by combining LEGO eye candy with educational and fun content for the reader. Whether you are a MINDSTORMS pro, a beginner, or simply someone who wants to learn more about MINDSTORMS and LEGO robotics, this is a great, informative, and visual book to have in your LEGO book collection. A must-have if you like the robotic side of LEGO!"—Dr. McBrick, YouTuber"This book is not a basic introduction to the LEGO MINDSTORMS 51515 Robot Inventor set, but it uses the set to introduce a wide range of different mechanisms and related concepts, from simple gearing to reciprocating or oscillating motion. We get easy to follow instructions to build the contraptions demonstrating the concepts, and with the code blocks accompanying them, they are ready to be used in any custom MINDSTORMS project."—Balazs, RacingBrick"Yoshihito Isogawa has always inspired me. On his YouTube channel, he builds all kinds of small robots and contraptions. He always comes up with these ingenious building techniques and clever contraptions and in this book, he shows you 128 of them! You can learn so much from him and his book, so this is a must have for MINDSTORMS builders and aspiring robotic engineers!"—Robotic Engineering, YouTuber"The book is a real compendium of mechanisms and related topics. More than a manual for owners of the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor set, it is a real encyclopedia of movement: ranging from the simplest mechanisms to those of oscillating or alternating motion, which combined together allow you to make even complex movements. Perfect for both beginners and experienced users."—Francesco Frangioja, Certified LEGO Facilitator"A well-made tutorial for all the components and a guide for mechanisms. Really good stuff for possible advanced constructions."—Greta Galli, YouTuber"For me, as an inexperienced MINDSTORMS user, the book is awesome. It is explained very clearly how the whole thing works and can be programmed."—AustrianLegoFan, YouTuber"As an IT professional I found myself using this much like cookbooks for programming... it gives such elegant and simple, reusable components that it enabled me to focus on what I was trying to do rather than solving each aspect individually. The true genius lies in the fact that it actually does require you to examine and understand the approach, which taught me how to make all manner of contraptions."—Brian Mork, Advanced Reviewer"The best way to level up your skills and learn the advanced MINDSTORMS techniques."—JustJon.net Review Quote " The LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor Idea Book is a building dictionary for beginners and experts alike.
