Aaron begins with a history of LEGO Robtoics and it's a fascinating journey! So many details and pictures. The build guides and lesson ideas are spot on with challenging topics and directions to help you out if you get stuck. This is a must have for classroom teachers and homeschool families whether you are a novice or an expert with LEGO robotics!

I've been using LEGO Mindstorms for more than 10 years (as a teacher, FLL coach, and parent), and I wish Aaron had published this book back when I got started! It's full of incredibly unique projects with easy-to-follow building instructions, easy-to-understand code that can be used with the projects, and countless online resources that go well beyond the books 422 pages.I would highly recommend this book to anyone just getting started with LEGO Mindstorms as well as experienced users who are looking for some fresh new ideas that they can use with their teams, students, or children!
