Core Lego Mindstorms Programming (Broché)

Your LEGO MINDSTORMS robots can do more than you ever imagined. The secret: go beyond the built-in tools and leverage the power of the java platform-the world's hottest programming technology. Core LEGO MINDSTORMS Programming shows you how, step by step. Working from beautifully rendered 3-D plans, you'll construct five unique robots-each capable of increasingly powerful navigation. You'll build and program two powerful custom sensors-an accurate distance sensor and the "Holy Grail" of navigation sensors: the compass sensor. Brion Bagnall, co-author of the leJOS Java Virtual Machine for LEGO MINDSTORMS starts with the absolute basics-then teaches you sophisticated, never-before-published techniques for controlling LEGO MINDSTORMS robots. No matter what version of LEGO MINDSTORMS you own, this book will teach you how to build robots with remarkable intelligence-and amazing power.
