More about the book
LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT allows anyone to build complex inventions, but there are limits to what you can do with what comes inside the box. This book shows you how to advance the NXT with more than 45 exciting projects, including creating a magic wand that writes words in thin air, building a remotely guided vehicle, and constructing sophisticated robots that can sense color, light, temperature, and more. All projects are explained with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, suitable for both novices and experts. The book also covers how to expand the programming software and use alternative input devices such as keypads, sensors, and even the human body, along with fun games like surfing, PONG, and SIMON. Additionally, it includes classic engineering challenges such as controlling an inverted pendulum, making a robot that follows a wall, and building light-seeking vehicles. Some projects are entertaining, like the Etch-A-NXT, while others are practical, such as a motorized camera mount that takes panoramic photographs.
