Robert Builder's Bonanza is just the book I need to have around as from time to time I would check it out from the library. It covers so many topics of interest to me as I put together my first robot. Here I am a 70 year old retiree and was introduced to the arduino world and then to robotics. So much fun. Keeps the mind grinding away at something new!
