Learn Engineering With Lego(r): A Practical Introduction to Software, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering

To go beyond the basic robots included in the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor kit, you need to make the expert choices of a professional engineer. In this hands-on introduction to the field, NASA veteran Grady Koch introduces you to real-world engineering techniques for working with motors, sensors, and software-using only the parts in the Robot Inventor kit. You'll build a ratchet, a tank drive vehicle, and much more as you learn how to write your own programs and algorithms with the Word Blocks and Python languages.
