Others say...
"Good book" I liked the "Humanoid Robot" book a little better, but this book helped avoid some of the pitfalls from building a creature, without spoiling any of the fun. "Way Cool! :-)" I read this book, I loved all the way through!!!! Full of instructions, and helpful pictures, this book is awesome! My friend is reading it, on my recomendation, he loves it! Anyone who's read it that I know really liked it. It's very easy to understand. The author, Brad Graham, did a great job! An out-of-this-world read!! "Great Book!" This book fills a gap often missing from robotics books and plans, especially for those interested in robotics that go beyond the desk top rover. The mechanical info is very good and covers just about every topic that you will need in order to build a larger more rugged robot chassis. The info on long range remote control and video transmission is also very informative and full of new ideas. Check it out! Ron - creator of "Backyard Borg" I already own Atomic Zombie's Bicycle Builder's Bonanza by the same authors and this is another great book. Check out www.atomiczombie.com to see more of these whacky projects. Hope they write more books soon. I can hardly wait to see what they'll come up with next! Great job!! This book is like a cross between robot wars and Nasa's mars rovers - very heavy duty machines with great info on building your own. The wheelchair motor and square tube frame system is just perfect for any robot that needs to explore the outside world or compete in battle bots. If you want to build an indestructable bot, read this! My robot NAT-5 will be ready soon and will have enough power to pull my lawn-mower around the yard - all controlled via video link. Nat

What our customer's say! "Missing Autonomous Operation and Teaching Robot", I suggest finding another book if your looking for "Autonomous Operation" or "Teaching your robot to think for itself with free software". I didn't find any software mentioned or any chapter or even a page covering autonomous operation. I found only a couple of sentences mentioning how they were able to do this. Besides that the book is a good buy for some ideas and lots of references. "Amazing Book!", I love this book! Before I bought this book, I was ready to build a serious robot, and I did, with the help of this book. Since then, in 2005, I have built many robots, and some that have competed in the ROBOGAMES, using this book as a base. 5/5 stars!! "Finally! A robotics based book with some real substance!", I've purchased and read (well partially) several books written about robotics. The reason I mentioned partially is they all disappoint me to near disgust. They all re-hash silly things such as resistor color codes, number systems, and skim over discrete electronic component operational theory - often erroneously. The authors even copy and paste microcontroller instruction tables into the book! (This information can be found free on the web.) Anything to stuff the pages. All this is available in other books on the subject of basic electronics. I'll step off the soap box long enough to say thanks to these authors: Brad Graham, Kathy McGowan, and Brad Graham. This book descibes great ideas for home built machines for guys with real tools. Although it still lacks in some areas, it should provide the really mechanically oriented with inspriation to build some utilitarian machines. You won't find any ideas for toys made from hose clamps and duct tape with a 9 volt battery for a base in this book. So, if all you have access to is a soldering iron and a hobby shop this isn't the book for you. But, if you're looking to get real with some machines to entertain and/or do some work then this book is a must read. "A good book to learn the ropes", A great book for beginner's and intermediate robot builders. The book gives a great overview from structural to electrical construction and gives good advice on what to buy and where. It provides an brief explanation of each device and how to make it work best without getting into the complicated workings of each device (unlike David Cook, author of Robot Building for Beginner and its sequel ) I used it extensively when i first started out and still use it for reference. It is a fairly new book so none of the information is really outdated. If you want to build radio controlled robots then this is the book to get. Good price and a long-lasting buy. Easy to read and understand (except in some of the radio sections, they take a little bit of thinking). Cons: I wish he would have included more advice on where to find some of the parts. He does list some websites in the back but i had better luck searching what i needed in google. He doesn't talk to much about "aftermarket" antennas for both the video/audio reviver or R/C unit. Really the only other draw back was then he talked about speed controllers. It is probably the most confusing section and boring. He didn't talk about how to hook everything up either. As far as speed controllers go he didn't discuss dual over single motor controls per unit and amperage considerations. I didn't see anything about fuses or breakers in there either which are important in protecting what will be an investment. Finally he didn't talk about where to get motors if you don't want to or can't get old used wheelchairs. Overall it is a good book and deserves a look from any builder. "Review of "Build Your Own All-Terrain Robot"", Easy to read, but not an exact blueprint of how to build the two robots he presents. The author does explain the robot design in layman's terms, and with a sense of humor. He does go over the entire building process in general terms, without much techninal detail. He recounts a few of his mistakes, like his 400-pound monster robot going haywire and wreaking havoc. It was really fun to read. He presents a lot of sources of information and components, which I have found very useful. He has done an excellent job of using affordable and available components. The robots he built are very impressive in size and scale (150lbs and up!), yet are not excessively complex. The robots are radio-controlled, however - very little information is given on software/AI development. He does an excellent job with explaining the mechanical frame, drivetrain, and housing construction. There is some useful information on electrical/electronics components as well. If you want to build an impressive robot for a reasonable cost, but are somewhat lacking in mechanical design (describes me exactly), than this book is for you. You'll need to be able to do some basic welding - but it's not hard. As of this writing, i'm 30% finished on my robot. In summary, I highly recommend this book for some educational and humorous reading 
Read this reviews before You buy... "Cool robots, cool book", I'm amazed with the number of pics and easy-to-follow instructions. I'm no expert, but anyone can build these kinds of 'bots, even me! It's fun watching people interact with my robot and the kids love it. I highly recommend this book for anyone who's interested in building their first 'bot or starting a new hobby. The best thing is that you don't have to spend a lot of money but you can build a very cool 'bot that will explore and entertain for many hours! Great for the kids to get involved in something fun, affordable and an excellent learning experience. "A book for backyard robot builders", What to do with your old combat robot? Tired of demolishing your investment? Want a robot that you won't have to worry about stepping on under foot? Build Your Own All-Terrain Robot, gives you some pointers on a totally different approach towards robotic building and use. Most books on robot construction cover the topic in two areas, either small servo driven semi autonomous robots, or remote controlled combat robots designed for battle ready competition. How about taking a robot that can role out your door onto the lawn and across the street while you're able to control every action and see what it sees from the comfort of sitting in front of your computer. Build Your Own All-Terrain Robot explains in detail how to go about doing just that. Most of us at one time in our lives have seen a remotely controlled entertainment robot. This book explains how to do the man behind the curtain trick with simple electronics, motors, and scrap metal parts. Nothing is really beyond the reach of the average builder in cost or ability. A number of design ideas are spelled out without getting heavily involved in the minutia of building that tends to slow the understanding and pace of most other books on the subject. In addition some needed attention has been paid to giving your robot character. Build Your Own All-Terrain Robot makes a great book for the inexperienced builder as well as those designers who have only imagined their creations living within the confines of four walls. Thanks, |
