This book delivers what’s on the cover: it’s a beginners guide to robotics, for those who selected LEGO Boost as their robotics kit. The LEGO boost app is great for young kids (our son is 6 and picked up programming with the app in no time), however it doesn’t explain robotics, it just introduces programming and robotics by examples. This book first provides a manual to LEGO boost that LEGO didn’t include in the box, it teaches how to construct robots with LEGO, it explains programming functions, it teaches simple physics needed to build robotics (such as turn angles, gearing, leverage, etc) and provides some building instructions. It is not intended as a collection of building instructions, but it includes 3 interesting builds that complement the ones included in the LEGO app.
The LEGO boost set targets children aged 7-12 (according to LEGO). This book is clearly targeting a different group. I would suggest this book is best intended for secondary school children or older. Which could include those that build robotics themselves, parents of children that would like to assist in building robots, novice teachers in robotics, or similar.

Super livre additionnel pour Lego Boost
Reviewed in France on 25 October 2019Verified Purchase
J'ai acheté ce livre pour avoir des modèles supplémentaires pour le Boost offert à mon fils à Noël.
J'ai été très positivement étonné par la qualité du livre qui ressemble vraiment une production lego officielle. Il y a plusieurs modèles de robots à construire, sur la base des pièces disponibles dans le set de base, énormément d'explications très claires et simples sur la manières de les programmer et le tout est présenté très clairement avec de nombreux visuels et exemples pour aider à la compréhension du système.
Alors oui c'est tout en anglais (ce n'est pas une surprise), et mon fils de 9 ans ne pourra pas l'utiliser seul avant un moment. Mais justement cela me permettra de l'accompagner dans ses idées et d'avoir le livre comme base pour bien lui expliquer comment ça marche et comment programmer (en fait c'est un très bon support pour faire des math assez simples et de manière ludique).
Indispensable si vous êtes à l'aise en anglais.

Only really a programmers guide
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 July 2020Verified Purchase
The book is OK, arrived quickly despite being squashed into the letter box... Why does the postal service never deliver things as they used too.... rant over.
the book is really only a programmers guide, not a builders guide, with alternatives.

Fab for 8 year old Boost builder
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 May 2019Verified Purchase
My son chose this book and loves it. He has spotted one error in the print so far but wasn't phased by it and anyway it's good to be paying enough attention to the build to work out how to make changes and fix stuff as it leads towards better learning.

ohhh, c'è un mondo di cose da fare
Reviewed in Italy on 19 October 2020Verified Purchase
Ok, ufficialmente l'ho comprato per mia figlia di 10 anni, ma in segreto era per me.
Davvero ben organizzato, è raro trovare un libro che ti prenda per mano così bene e ti introduca al cuore della sua materia per i giusti passaggi, uno dopo l'altro.
Dispiace che sia disponibile solo in inglese. Non per difficoltà di comprensione, ma perchè temo che sia uno dei segnali che i cervelli migliori se ne siano scappati.
