About the Book

This volume focuses entirely on building the inexpensive, remote-controlled robot, The "Questor". The book is illustrated with step-by-step, detailed photographs of each stage of the assembly process. No advanced electronic or programming skills are required, making the book suitable for first-time experimenters. The emphasis is on the techniques needed to build the robot, rather than on the theory of robot design. Easy-to-read wiring diagrams are included, with beginners in mind, and the book also features a complete parts list, including tips on where to find inexpensive parts and components.

About the Author :
David Shircliff (Fairfax, VA) is a shop teacher at Seneca Ridge Middle School in Loudon Co. Virginia. He teaches classes in both Synergistic Module and traditional shop settings. He has been building the Questor Robot with his students for the past two years.

Review :
First published in 1987 under the title "How to Build a Robot for Less Than $300," this edition retains the original premise: building a robot on the cheap. The project outlined here by an experienced teacher is a whimsical remote-controlled robot butler named Questor, which readers can build with little prior knowledge of electronics.
