Industry Reviews

First published in 1987 under the title "How to Build a Robot for Less Than $300," this edition retains the original premise: building a robot on the cheap. The project outlined here by an experienced teacher is a whimsical remote-controlled robot butler named Questor, which readers can build with little prior knowledge of electronics.
