Here’s a new title in the innovative new ROBOT DNA SERIES from McGraw-Hill, the premier publisher of references for the robotics hobbyist.

Author Gordon McComb focuses on the basic concepts and specific applications you need to build efficient robot bases – and have a great time in the process. 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.

Detailed enough to get the job done, but written with the amateur hobbyist in mind, Constructing Robot Bases is your first point of reference when designing and building this essential subsystem.
