In the clear, easy-to-follow style that has made him a favorite among robotics fans, Gordon tells you how to get things up and running using only inexpensive, easily-obtained parts and simple testing equipment.

From Barnes & Noble

Like other additions to Tab Book's Robot DNA Series, Constructing Robot Bases serves advanced beginners, the most neglected consumers of amateur robotics books. And, like the other books in the series, its structure focuses on applications rather than specific technologies. Clearly written and well-organized, the book includes full chapters on constructing a two-wheeled robot and a six-legged robot.
