When Building Robots with LEGO MINDSTORMS was ﬁnished I felt very satisﬁed,

but completely exhausted. I had been working on the book three to four hours a day

— every day — for more than ﬁve months, dedicating to it all of my spare time and

stealing some additional time from my job and my family. My most recurring

thought was:“This has been an incredible opportunity, I’m so glad I did it” immedi-

ately followed by “but I’ll never do it again”.

The months that followed were incredibly exciting.Although the memory of the

hard work was still fresh in my mind, it was more than compensated for by the

incredible reception that the book received from MINDSTORMS fans. In term of

sales — of course — but also in terms of the ﬂattering reviews and very positive

comments that many readers expressed directly to me by e-mail.

When Syngress offered me the opportunity to write a second book, I had mixed

feelings. On the one hand, I was so proud of the welcome the ﬁrst book had

received that I was tempted to accept; on the other hand, I really didn’t feel ready to

repeat the effort required to write the ﬁrst book. More importantly, I didn’t want to

write a book just to write another book, with nothing special in it. Building Robots

with LEGO MINDSTORMS ﬁlled a gap in the technical literature about LEGO

robotics that had been empty, but the number of books devoted to the LEGO

MINDSTORMS system was already rather high before its publication, and many

other good titles have been released on the topic since then.

Discussing ideas and possibilities with the Syngress staff, the concept for a new

book slowly began to evolve. Building Robots with LEGO MINDSTORMS explains

scores of techniques about designing and building robots, describing about thirty

complete projects and offers suggestions for many others. However, it contains no

explanation of these projects with the level of detail to where everybody can repro-

duce a speciﬁc robot, following step-by-step instructions.This fact has been pointed

out by some readers, who said they would have appreciated a book describing chal-

lenging projects, each looked at in great detail.

Actually, the shelves of many bookshops offer many excellent books containing

step-by-step instructions for building LEGO MINDSTORMS robots. Nevertheless,

if you look carefully you will discover that some of these books are aimed at intro-

ducing the reader to the basics of the MINDSTORMS world, therefore describing

only very simple robots. On the other hand, there exists a second group of books

that show step-by-step instructions, but lack substantially detailed explanations about

the building techniques used by the authors and the general concepts that are funda-

mental to the projects.

These reﬂections are the foundation of LEGO MINDSTORMS Masterpieces,

whose goal is presenting some very sophisticated projects with the maximum level of

detail. In the book you hold in your hands you will ﬁnd not only high quality step-

by-step instructions for building all of the robots, but also a complete description for

each of them, including goals, building techniques, programming techniques, and the

theory supporting the designer’s choices.

In my opinion what makes LEGO MINDSTORMS Masterpieces really special is

the fact that it is not the work of a single person, but rather the result of the cooper-

ation of a team of authors.The fact is that any designer tends to adopt his or her

own building “clichés”, a collection of standard solutions to common problems that

they use again and again to save design time.This isn’t laziness, but rather the normal

behavior of the human mind.When faced with a new problem, the ﬁrst solutions

that come to mind are solutions that have already been successful in similar (but per-

haps not identical) cases.Additionally, every designer has their own personal style, a

set of unexpressed rules that guide building choices toward something that the

designer prefers to use, even if another solution exists that would work equally as

well or better. For these reasons different creations built by the same person typically

show many similarities; a sort of common background that results in what can be

thought of as a “family resemblance” among their designs.

The MINDSTORMS Masters that wrote this book brought to it a wide variety

of ideas and a wealth of strategies that a single author could simply never hope to

offer.This diversity is exactly what we are offering in this book, which we called —

with a bit of immodesty — LEGO MINDSTORMS Masterpieces.Whether these cre-

ations could be considered real masterpieces is not for me to say, but what I am sure

of is that we devoted a considerable amount of time to choosing and presenting pro-

jects that push the possibilities of the MINDSTORMS RIS system towards its limits,
