The LEGO® BOOST® Idea Book contains dozens of ideas for building simple robots with the LEGO BOOST set.

The LEGO® BOOST® Idea Book explores 95 creative ways to build simple robots with the LEGO BOOST set. Each model includes a parts list, minimal text, screenshots of programs, and colorful photographs from multiple angles so you can re-create it without step-by-step instructions.

You'll learn to build robots that can walk and crawl, shoot and grab objects, and even draw using a pen! Each model demonstrates handy mechanical principles that you can use to come up with your own creations.

Models come with building hints and ideas for putting your own spin on things. Best of all, every part you need to build these models comes in the LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox (set #17101).
Yoshihito Isogawa is a LEGO luminary with 46 years of building experience. He is the author of The LEGO Technic Idea Book series, The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book series, and The LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Idea Book (all No Starch Press) as well as many Japanese-language LEGO books.
"If there is a young potential engineer you are looking to get some gifts for, this book is a great complement to the LEGO BOOST set itself."
Game Vortex

" Beautifully illustrated on every page"
Midwest Book Review
