Packed with step-by-step instructions and detailed illustrations, 10 Cool LEGO MINDSTORMS Ultimate Builders Projects demystifies the many unfamiliar and potentially confusing parts in the Ultimate Builders Set while showing enthusiasts how to incorporate them into 10 fast and fun robotic creations. Ten Cool Projects. One Hour Each. Perfect.

Robots Included:

WideBot is a wide-bodied robot designed to pursue light sources. WideBot moves in a wide turning circle, and makes a side-to-side scanning motion that is easily controlled.
SumoBug's torque and low center of gravity will make you a Robotic Sumo champion! SumoBug keeps its weight over the front axles for greater traction, and its slow-turning tractor treads keep it stuck to the ground and moving forward.
Hopper is a four-legged robot designed to move in a loping, hopping motion. The robot's hopping action is generated by the spinning action of large pulley wheels, which drive the legs down and back, then retract them quickly.
Wrapper Compactor: Build your own candy wrapper-trash compactor using the pneumatic capabilities of the UBS.
HunterBot is a treaded robot designed to locate and grab objects. Its main features are the grabber, which can close firmly on objects, and the powerful tractor treads, which help to drag cans to another location.
The Draw Bridge opens and closes to allow all of your MINDSTORMS robots to pass through.
Create a Line Follower with a dual light sensor. Additional instructions included for the attachment of a rotation sensor!
DominoBot follows a black line on a white background, while laying dominos at a preset distance along the path. There are three major components to the DominoBot: the drive mechanism, the distance sensor, and the loader and loader arm.1
