"Inside Robotics provides step-by-step extensively illustrated instructions for building three project robots, from a simple "self-navigating" robot, to a fully controllable challenger such as those on the show, Robot Wars. Readers will learn how to build robots safely, from considering batteries, pneumatics, and hydraulics to conducting complete operational tests. For those interested in robotics competitions, this vibrant guide is essential, and will provide a unique behind-the-scenes look at the show Robot Wars, the history, arena, and both house and competitors robots."--Publisher description.
