We get easy to follow instructions to build the contraptions demonstrating the concepts, and with the code blocks accompanying them, they are ready to be used in any custom MINDSTORMS project.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Balazs, RacingBrick\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yoshihito Isogawa has always inspired me. On his YouTube channel, he builds all kinds of small robots and contraptions. He always comes up with these ingenious building techniques and clever contraptions and in this book, he shows you 128 of them! You can learn so much from him and his book, so this is a must have for MINDSTORMS builders and aspiring robotic engineers!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Robotic Engineering, YouTuber\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The book is a real compendium of mechanisms and related topics. More than a 'manual' for owners of the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor set, it is a real 'encyclopedia of movement:' ranging from the simplest mechanisms to those of oscillating or alternating motion, which combined together allow you to make even complex movements. Perfect for both beginners and experienced users.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Francesco Frangioja, Certified LEGO Facilitator\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A well-made tutorial for all the components and a guide for mechanisms.

The true genius lies in the fact that it actually does require you to examine and understand the approach, which taught me how to make all manner of contraptions.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Brian Mork, Advanced Reviewer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The best way to level up your skills and learn the advanced MINDSTORMS techniques.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—JustJon.net\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eYoshihito Isogawa\u003c\/b\u003e of Tokyo, Japan, is a technical writer and LEGO® luminary.
