Summary: A great intro to electronics and robotics
Comment: The first 2/3rds of this book are more about electronics in general than robotics, but it's a great way to see how all the parts really work and interrelate. It really takes away a lot of the mystery. The author's writing style is geared towards high-schoolers, but at the same time he doesn't dumb it down. As a 40-year old with little electronics background, but lots of computer programming, this was a great relief to me.
Each recipe comes with a full list of parts and tools required, so you can head to RadioShack or wherever knowing you have what you need. Highly recommended.

Summary: For Teenagers
Comment: AS a 14 year old, I wanted to find a book that could help me learn about robots but I found most of the books too hard or too juvenile. This book starts right off with pipe-cleaner and lego robots and gradually goes up from there. I'm really excited about this book and I'm looking forward to learning how to build my own robots.

Summary: Robots from the Ground Up
Comment: If you don't know _anything_ about robots and don't know where to start - this is probably the book for you. Mr. Predko starts with a few simple robot models and then goes through materials, basic electronics, semiconductors, timers, digital logic, power, introductory programming, computer interfacing and, finally robot design. When you get through all the experiments, you can comfortably call yourself a "roboticist" and have the knowledge to start creating your own small robots.
This book is VERY dense with a lot of information in it - don't exepct to get through it in a few days. There are literally ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE experiments in this book, each one nicely thought out and written and not a lot of work - I've done three now (building the PCB that comes with the book, a 555 PWM and servo driver).
This is definitely the best book out there for people who want to come up with their robots and don't even know what they have to know. Mr. Predko, well done!
