LEGO Mindstorms NXT: The Mayan Adventure presents a multipart fictional story as the premise for introducing and detailing a unique robot. The story's main character, Max, is on an archaeological expedition with his uncle in the jungles of Guatemala to investigate a newly discovered Mayan pyramid. During the expedition, the team encounters various problems. And each problem is solved with the help of a unique robot that Max creates. Following each chapter in which a new problem is introduced is a "theory" chapter that discusses the concepts and provides the programming knowledge you need for creating the robot. The robot "solution" chapter ultimately follows. Over the course of the book, you'll follow along as Max and the expedition team use the Lego Mindstorms NXT kit to overcome obstacles and move deeper into the Mayan pyramid. This book shows how to design a NXT robot to solve real-world problems. It includes worksheets that encourage constructive brainstorming techniques. You'll gain access to four new and unique robot designs. This book is suitable for adults and kids exploring NXT.
