This is a solid reference for a robotics class using EV3 materials. The images of LEGO construction are low resolution which makes them difficult to follow. The chapters on the swivel, forklift and arm would have been better as downloadable instructions instead of being integrated into the book. The programming examples illustrating the function of various block I found the most useful. I wish the e-book version was less expensive.
