6.  "Joe Nagata's Lego Mindstorms Idea Book" by Joe Nagata;  January 2001

Do you know of other books?

Here's a couple - both by Robert Penfold:
"Introducing Robotics with Lego Mindstorms"- ISBN 0-835934-2 (get it from
Amazon) Lots of VB information
"More Advanced Robots with Lego Mindstorms" - sorry, I don't know ISBN


It depends what you want from a book!
I have a few of them and in my opinion.....

"Dave Baum's Definitive Guide to LEGO Mindstorms" is a good general intro +
loads of good projects and models + loads of NQC

"The Unofficial Guide to LEGO MINDSTORMS Robots" has some good mechanical
designs + NQC info + pbForth

"Introducing Robotics with Lego Mindstorms" has loads of spirit.ocx and
visual basic + a few interesting projects

"Extreme Mindstorms: a Definitive Guide to Lego Mindstorms" has loads of
advanced stuff - LegOS, pbForth, homebrew sensors, RCX2.0 firmware


Hope this helps
Clive
