Not too much mundane detail. Acceptable amount of depth

I overall liked the book. Mainly geared towards a beginner to intermediate techy. Had some good info on sources of parts and advantages and disadvantages of particular materials and methods. If you are looking at the where to start to get the foundation for your bot look here.

Godon still's got it!

This is the book to read to learn about the nuts and bolts of, well, the nuts and bolts.Not only does this book cover building the base, but also the basics of drive-trains, batteries, and motors. I liked the other books in this series, but this is my favorite. Perhaps that's because mechanical things are my weakness.
