My copy of Extreme Mindstorms just arrived and let me tell you, for the advanced
inventor it's GREAT!
If your into Custom Sensors and out of the way sensors and what not THIS IS THE
BOOK. It's written by the leading developers of the RIS's major coding
platforms. (Dave Baum - NQC, Ralph Hempel - pbForth & Luis Villa - legOS) as
well as Michael Gasperi for the juicy Custom Sensors stuff.
Great book. So far I'd rate it #1 for advanced users that REALLY want to get
into the advanced aspects of the RCX and don't mind bending the LEGO rules.
