Inhoudsopgave:
Congratulations! Youâre on Mars Base Alpha, the first human outpost on the red planet. Donât relax, though. Itâs not all roses and unicorns up here. Mars isnât called \"The Bringer of War\" for nothing! Youâve just been rained on by a meteor shower and itâs up to youâyou!âto put your LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotics skills to work to save the day, and the base! And thatâs only the beginning of the challenges that lie ahead. LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT: Mars Base Command is a book of challenge. Itâs about challenging yourself to design and build robots to solve problems, tough problems. Taking a similar approach to best-selling LEGO author James Kellyâs other books, this book presents a series of four challenges in the setting of mankindâs first-ever manned base on the planet Mars. Each challenge begins with a backstory to set the scene. Youâre 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 bookâs 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 LEGOâs best-selling robotics platform. Please note: the print version of this title is black \u0026 white; the eBook is full color. |
