Good book - a little dated

I have the original version of this book from the 1980's and the new printing hasn't changed much. The photos have been cleaned up and the new cover is nice. The design of the robot is relatively low-tech but it's a good starting point if you've never built a robot.

good material

this is a good book for those who r starting out with robot building it will also be helpful to those who are slightly experienced but do not have the technical background required for building advanced robots.
