Robots and Programs

Abstract

If you are already familiar with the subject of robots and the concept of programming, feel free to skip ahead a few chapters. But if you are just starting out with your LEGO Mindstorms NXT robotics kit and are asking yourself questions such as, “How is a robot different from a toaster?” or “Just what is this thing called programming?” then you’re in the right place. If terms like “conditional statements,” “nested loops,” and “variables” make your head spin, don’t worry— they make my head spin, too.
