商品描述

Whether you're just beginning with your LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT set or are already an expert, you'll be inspired by these animal-like models that walk, crawl, hop, and roll!

The first part of the book introduces you to the NXT kit and reviews the parts you'll need in order to begin building. Next, you'll learn how to program with the NXT-G programming language, including how to make miniprograms called My Blocks that you can use to build larger programs. Finally, you'll learn how to build each robot and program it to act like its real animal cousins.

Learn to build and program the following robots:

  • Ribbit, a jumping frog
  • Bunny, a hopping rabbit
  • Sandy, a walking camel
  • Spiderbot, an eight-legged spider that avoids objects and walks forward and backward
  • Snout, a walking alligator that opens and closes its jaws
  • LEGOsaurus, a four-legged, plodding dinosaur
  • Pygmy, a walking elephant that raises and lowers its head
  • Polecat, a skunk on wheels that lifts its tail and shoots "darts"
  • Strutter, a peacock on wheels that turns and flutters its tail feathers

Troubleshooting tips help you avoid problems like misarranged gears and incorrect programming, while a list of Internet resources is included to help guide you in further exploration with the NXT. Teachers and home educators will appreciate an appendix with helpful suggestions for using the models in the classroom.

The models in this book have been tested repeatedly -- and built successfully -- by novice builders, so all you have to do is follow the directions and watch them go. Now, let the building begin! (Note: These specific models require additional NXT/TECHNIC parts. Check out the part lists at thenxtzoo(DOT)com.)

商品描述(中文翻譯)

無論您是剛開始使用LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT套件還是已經是專家，這些像動物一樣行走、爬行、跳躍和滾動的模型都會給您帶來靈感！本書的第一部分介紹了NXT套件，並回顧了您開始建造所需的零件。接下來，您將學習如何使用NXT-G編程語言，包括如何製作稱為My Blocks的小程序，您可以使用它們來構建更大的程序。最後，您將學習如何建造每個機器人並將其編程成像真實動物一樣的行為。

學習建造和編程以下機器人：
- Ribbit，一隻跳躍的青蛙
- Bunny，一隻跳躍的兔子
- Sandy，一隻行走的駱駝
- Spiderbot，一隻八腳蜘蛛，可以避開障礙物並前後行走
- Snout，一隻行走的短吻鱷魚，可以張開和閉合嘴巴
- LEGOsaurus，一隻四腳緩慢行走的恐龍
- Pygmy，一隻行走的大象，可以抬起和放下頭部
- Polecat，一隻帶著尾巴並能射出“飛鏢”的滾輪臭鼬
- Strutter，一隻帶著轉動並能拍動尾羽的滾輪孔雀

疑難排解提示將幫助您避免出現齒輪錯位和編程錯誤等問題，同時還提供了一個互聯網資源列表，以幫助您進一步探索NXT。教師和家庭教育者將喜歡附錄中有關在課堂上使用這些模型的有用建議。

本書中的模型已經由初學者反覆測試並成功建造，所以您只需要按照指示操作，就能看到它們運作。現在，讓我們開始建造吧！（註：這些特定模型需要額外的NXT/TECHNIC零件。請查看thenxtzoo(DOT)com上的零件清單。）
