ROCKLAND, MA -- Aug 28, 2002 -- Syngress Publishing, Inc., today announced the publication of 10 Cool LEGO Mindstorms Dark Side Robots, Transports, and Creatures: Amazing Projects You Can Build in Under an Hour (ISBN: 1-931836-59-0), the first in Syngress's new Cool LEGO series. Syngress's Cool LEGO series covers the most popular Mindstorms kits from LEGO and allows Mindstorms fans to complete new projects in less than 60 minutes.
This book is for both the novice and expert Mindstorms builder. Within an hour, readers will be able to build any of 10 familiar (and not so familiar) Imperial or Federation robots, vehicles, and other creatures drawn from the world renowned STAR WARS movie series, including the Super Battle Droid, Imperial Hounds, and the Scorpion Assassin Droid.
Chris Williams, President, Syngress Publishing, said, "For most people new to building Mindstorms projects, there is a real gap between building the project from the instructions LEGO ships with the kit and designing your own projects. Our 10 Cool LEGO Mindstorms Dark Side Robots, Transports, and Creatures book helps fill that gap by providing a set of fresh projects that allow builders to really hone their skills and get comfortable with the design process."
Syngress's Cool LEGO line will be extended this year with 10 Cool LEGO Mindstorms Ultimate Builders Set Projects: Amazing Projects You Can Build in Under an Hour (ISBN: 1-931836-60-4), and 10 Cool LEGO Mindstorms Robotic Invention System 2.0 Project: Amazing Projects You Can Build in Under an Hour (ISBN: 1-931836-61-2). Syngress will also release the Building & Programming LEGO Mindstorms Robots KIT (ISBN: 1-931836-71-X) in October, which features the best-selling Building Robots with LEGO Mindstorms (ISBN: 1-928994-67-9) and Programming LEGO Mindstorms with Java (ISBN: 1-928994-55-5).
