Extreme NXT

This guide shows readers how to build sensors and other add-ons for the LEGO Mindstorms NXT robotics kit. Its three authors are described as leading figures in homebrew NXT hardware, and they share the construction details for more than fifteen projects. Each build is laid out with clear, illustrated sequences that remain manageable for readers with only modest electronics background.

The book is aimed at NXT users who already know the platform and want to expand what their robots can do. Along the way it introduces core electronics concepts, so that readers gain practical skills as well as finished devices. It also doubles as a reference to the NXT's hardware interfaces.

For programmers, the examples are provided in several alternative NXT programming languages, allowing each project to be coded in the environment that suits the reader best.
