Robotics & Automation Editorial Review

This book received mixed reviews from customers. Some found the instructions for setting up the IDE and firmware difficult to follow, while others had no problems. The inclusion of additional Lego modules not included in the standard Mindstorm NXT kit was disappointing for some readers. The PVR robot project was also seen as disappointing because the code executed on a PC instead of the NXT. Some customers wished for colored building instructions for easier use. Overall, opinions were divided on the value and usefulness of this book.
