My wife surprised me and actually *went* to my wishlist on amazon, and
ordered me 'Killer Mindstorms an Advanced Guide'
I'm gonna sit down with it more this weekend, but I already am planning a
trip to the local Radio Shack to get parts for the homebrew sensors
part...just skimming it, it looks fantastic...the coin sensor looks awesome!
I have all kinds of cool ideas for coin operated robots now...heh heh...
Anyway, it looks like a great book so far, as it's 'advanced', and it
appears to be broken into four 'sections'
1. Mindstorms By Dave Baum
2. pbForth By Ralph Hempel
3. LegOS By Luis Villa
4. last, but not least...'Homebrew Sensors' Micheal Gasperi
I'm gonna read it hopefully this weekend and try to post a decent review on
Amazon...
Hope this helps!
