Personal robots are about as advanced today as personal computers were on the eve of the first IBM PC in the early 1980s. They are still the domain of hobbyists who cobble them together from scratch or from kits, join local clubs to swap code & stage contests, & whose labour of love is setting the stage for a technological revolution. This book will deconstruct the 30 regional winning robot designs from the FIRST Robotics Competition in 2006.

Each robot is featured in 6-8 pages providing readers with a solid understanding of how the robot was conceived & built. There are sketches, interim drawings & process shots for each robot. ...
