Editorial Reviews

Review

“The title doesn't lie! Bob Katovich combines his robot-building expertise and his trademark whimsy to deliver a book that is engaging, approachable, and highly educational. Appropriate for the classroom, a makerspace, or at home, each project utilizes simple materials and methods to create myriad robotic designs that work as-is but also have the potential to be limitlessly expanded upon. This is a must-have for anyone searching for an empowering and humorous introduction to robotics.”—Alison Earnhart, NBCT, engineering educator

“Bob’s well-organized book easily guides young readers and hobbyists to small electronics mastery while also providing cultural context and even whimsical flair. This foray into STEAM projects will have you feeling 'powerful and confident, like a science wizard.’”—Maris Polanco, scientist, educator, and artist

“This is seriously a great book…[It’s] packed full of projects, designed for a range of ability levels. Any child who loves to build and create would find something they would want to build in here.” —Jessica J.

Like the idea, but . . .
We bought this book for our 7-year-old grandson for Christmas along with the supplies for the first five activities. My husband helped him build those on Christmas Day. I did read the reviews complaining about the huge expense of the materials, but ignored it. I cannot recommend this book for a single child, although it might be OK for a class of students or robotic club. The experiments I tried last week did not work out very well—the vibrating motor was too small to move the Scribbler Bot and the solar panel was too big/heavy to allow the Dancing Bot to move. This was very frustrating for both me and the child. I would probably stick to kits next time.

This book is ultra accessible for someone with no robotics knowledge to read through and do projects in a clear, step-by-step format. The instructions are easy to understand. All the extra information was interesting and entertaining. Excellent all around!

This book is Good Quality, Good Value, and Engaging for Mechanically Minded Children 8-16..We have bought a number of these books. Children ages 8-11 may need substantial adult help in building activities..Ages 12-16 would be more independent with these activities. t.

Absolutely wonderful! As a licensed counselor I’ve found kids come out of their shell when they are immersed in something they love. This book will allow them to explore and get their flow state engaged which will lead to other positives!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but serious errors
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 19, 2021

I am making the hexapod robot. On page 118 it describes how to make the sides from tongue depressors. The method outlined results in 9" long sides whereas the text states 12" required. Yes 12" is correct and a different method is required which I have devised. I do think this book should be error checked in detail before publishing.
On the other hand the homopolar motor instructions are excellent and it works!
Not many of the projects are suitable for 5 year olds I would suggest 10 to 13 a good age range.
I do recommend it as it is good value and full of good ideas.
