LEGO has come a long way from the days of simple square bricks, and many still associate LEGO with their various playsets. For those that want more advanced building, some LEGO enthusiasts prefer the Technic and Mindstorms sets, which feature beams, axles, gears, and other mechanized parts that can be powered and programmed to make fairly complex machines.


This book begins with an introduction of basic pieces and building techniques, and there will be instruction of how to build some terrific vehicles that will look like actual cars, planes, and other machines. Not only that, I will instruct how to make these vehicles do all kinds of motion, even steering and walking! There will also be instructions for building all kinds of robots and programming them to do all kinds of motions and other applications.


After reading this book, the reader will be inspired to create any machine that they want to create. They will also be able to use the programming tools for even more mechanical creations in the future. Above all, I leave the simple and complicated advice of this: Don’t stop creating, don’t stop innovating.
