Congratulations! You're on Mars Base Alpha, the first human outpost
on the red planet. Don't relax, though. It's not all roses and
unicorns up here. Mars isn't called "The Bringer of War" for
nothing! You've just been rained on by a meteor shower and it's up
to you-you!-to put your LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotics skills to work
to save the day, and the base! And that's only the beginning of the
challenges that lie ahead. LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT: Mars Base Command
is a book of challenge. It's about challenging yourself to design
and build robots to solve problems, tough problems. Taking a
similar approach to best-selling LEGO author James Kelly's other
books, this book presents a series of four challenges in the
setting of mankind's first-ever manned base on the planet Mars.
Each challenge begins with a backstory to set the scene. You're
given instructions for constructing a playing field, including
devices that your eventual robot must manipulate. Your job is to
build a robot that will execute the challenge and garner you the
most points. The book requires the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Education
Resource Set. Scoring sheets are included that allow for the book's
use in educational and group settings. Teachers can base lesson
plans around the different concepts taught in each challenge.
Groups and clubs can choose to run mini-competitions in which teams
or individuals compete against each other in a race to save the
base. LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT: Mars Base Command is an excellent choice
for an individual, a group, or a teacher wishing to learn about and
have more fun with LEGO's best-selling robotics platform. Please
note: the print version of this title is black & white; the
eBook is full color.
