Summary: Good mid-level drive train overview
Comment: While not everything I had hoped, this book does cover some of the basics and then some on building drive trains.
If you have ever tried this, you know that there are so many detailed questions, and this book does address a fair number of them.
If you are looking for a step by step guide, this is not your book. If you are imaginative and like custom solutions, this book will be of good value, even if you only use 2 or 3 chapters from the book.

Summary: Beginner in hte field of robots
Comment: Good book for starting out if you want to build things yourself and you don't know where to start for a robot drive. It goes into enough detail to explain why a user would select one option over another depending on what the final goal is. It has some basic math (very simple agebra)to cover these details and walks the user through all of it. He also list sources (books) and other links for a higher level of detail. This is a fast read and easy to follow
Nice work on the book!

Summary: Lost book
Comment: It has been a month since the book was shipped--and I have not received it yet. I looked at Amazon's on line tracking, and it appeared the book was lost in transit. Amazon (Peggy) said they would immediately get another one out to me.
My concern--Why did I have to find that the book was lost. Amazon has the same information. It appears their system doesn't monitor deliveries or non-deliveries?????

Summary: Great Book
Comment: This book was a great help during the use of our wireless hexapod senior project. The book is a great read on many different levels, especially control. The PID explantion in Motor Control 201 is better then a lot of control books i've read. There are a tremendous amount of circuits in the book and code and psuedocode. the book gives a lot of technical information as well as giving you different options (chips, connection, drive trains) you can use when building your robot. This is must if you are building a robot or want a book on interfacing your microcontroller and analog circuitry.

Leaving heavy-duty tech speak behind, the authors focus on the actual concepts and applications necessary to build and understand these critical force-conveying systems. A clear, straight-forward guide to the nuts and bolts of robot drive trains. Softcover.
