Easy Lego Robotics Starting Point-Mayan Adventure Book

For those that want to get started with a group interested in Lego Robotics and aren't too sure about the competition thing, start with this book! The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT: The Mayan Adventure (Technology in Action) book by James Floyd Kelly (Paperback - Dec 11, 2006) is great. Local bookstore are likely to carry it as well, so check. Once through the book, I'm sure you'll want to try the competition thing too.

The author, James Kelly rotates between a chapter about a boy on a Mayan dig who uses his robot to solve problems, and then chapters on building and programming. Each new adventure requires a new robot. the book can be used to cut across a number of content areas. Brilliantly done.
