Congratulations! Youre on Mars Base Alpha, the first human outpost on the red planet. Dont relax, though. Its not all roses and unicorns up here. Mars isnt called "The Bringer of War" for nothing! Youve just been rained on by a meteor shower and its up to youyou!to put your LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotics skills to work to save the day, and the base! And thats only the beginning of the challenges that lie ahead. is a book of challenge. Its about challenging yourself to design and build robots to solve problems, problems. Taking a similar approach to best-selling LEGO author James Kellys other books, this book presents a series of four challenges in the setting of mankinds first-ever manned base on the planet Mars. Each challenge begins with a backstory to set the scene. Youre 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 books 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. is an excellent choice for an individual, a group, or a teacher wishing to learn about and have more fun with LEGOs best-selling robotics platform.Please note: the print version of this title is black & white; the eBook is full color.
