"While there's no shortage of awesome robots out there that can serve as inspiration—think of Chris Anderson's Lego Autopilot or JP Brown's Rubik's Cube Solver—not all of them have decent instructions or NXT-G assistance. That, and the writers' obvious excitement, make this book a must-have for Mindstorms fanatics."

From the foreword:
"The contributors to The NXT STEP blog have done a superb job of bringing their enthusiasm and ideas together to create this very exciting book...I recommend this book to you, and I hope that you'll enjoy reading it as much as I have."
—Chris Anderson, Editor-in-Chief, Wired Magazine

"I really enjoyed this book. The layout is well done with a good number of projects. There are a huge number of pages dedicated to showing how the pieces go together. Instead of just padding their page count tough, they did a good job of reducing the number of these pages far below the typical one-step-per-page Lego uses in their booklets. The write-ups were good, the instructions were clear, and most importantly, the models were fun."

"All in all this is a great little source of ideas and information. The sample projects are packed with suggestions for further enhancements and improvements to try out. This isn't just a collection of fixed recipes to follow. There's room for experimentation built-in, which is exactly what you want from an ideas book."
