Product Description:
The creative minds behind The NXT STEP blog are back with a brand-new collection of innovative robots. Whether you're just getting started with LEGO robotics or have been building and programming robots for years, LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT One-Kit Wonders is packed with new and exciting techniques, advice, and robots that guarantee awesome results. And best of all, you'll only need one NXT Retail kit to build all ten of them!
LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT One-Kit Wonders will make it simple for you to construct even the most complex of these ten robots, all while you learn the ins and outs of the NXT kit. You'll learn to build and program:
- PunchBot, a robot that you program using old-fashioned punchcards
- M, a robot that sorts your M&M candies by color
- NXT Dragster, a super-fast racecar that will take you all the way to the drag strip
- BobBot, a versatile skid-steer loader, equipped with a ball grabber or demolition claw
- RoboLock, a security system for your robots
- The Hand, a robotic replacement hand to protect you from those dangerous cleanup jobs, like picking up your brother's gym socks
- SPC, a robotic vehicle that can park itself between two objects using front-wheel drive
- The Bike, a two-wheeled robot that can balance and steer
Armed with the knowledge you gain from this book, you'll be inventing your own amazing creations in no time.

I'm a high school computer science and robotics teacher. This book is perfect! The projects can each serve as the centerpiece for discussion of a particular aspect of robotics, whether exhibiting autonomous, remote control, assembly-line, or human enhancement behaviors. Wonderful job!

I'm the only mother who is a member of the NXT Step Blog. When we decided to assemble another book of NXT models, I agreed to manage the project if others would come up with ten unique models that could be built with a single NXT kit---and they met the challenge.
Despite the requirement that we publish in black and white, I believe we have also produced very clear building instructions---another big plus for anyone building a robot.

I own the first Idea book, the Inventor's Guide and I pre-ordered the One-Kit Wonders book, which arrived a week ago. Its projects are probably the best of the 3 books. Very doable, challenging, but they are very, very well designed and once finished, they work very well. They are a lot of fun to build for me and my 9-year old. This book is different to the two others mentioned here, because it goes directly into the projects without any introduction to Mindstorms building or NXT-G programming tutorials. ... Read More

This imaginative cookbook for 10 appealing, and and instructive robots that anyone can build with just the basic Lego Mindstorms NXT kit is a valuable tool for any student receiving the NXT package. It will stimulate the imagination, and it provides complete well documented instructions to the construction of each robot and its programming steps. All too often children and adults receive a kit of parts without anything to guide their imagination in what is possible with the new package. I only wish that ... Read More
