Build A Remote-Controlled Robot: complete plans with step-by-step illustrated details, by David R. Shircliff (TPB, 2002, $2.50)
"Here are all the step-by-step, heavily illustrated plans you need to build a full-sized, remote controlled robot named Questor- without any advanced electronic or programming skills."
Note, it says no "advanced" skills needed, not no skills needed. That leaves me out, which is no surprise.
It's a cute robot. Even thoug it is supposed to be called Questor, I'll bet you can name it anything you want. After all, you will be both its mother and father. I wonder how efficient it is when its complete? Will it be like those cleaning robots that aren't much use, but become like pets, and so their lack of perfection doesn't matter? I actually like the idea of a robot as a pet. I don't know, though, about this robot, but maybe it is the bow tie that turns me off. Look for this on the new non-fiction table. (L- tech.)
