I recall when Mario shared this book would be published. The original price was higher than I wanted to spend for I wasn't certain this would live up to what was promised. I then lost track of this. Advance forward to this week when I thought of it again as I started playing with Arduino again. I contacted the local library to see if they would procure this through an inner0library loan for me They did within days and contacted me.

This was better than I expected. I would have sucked with this as a boy, but I am excited to build these tricks. I only have the book for two weeks and there will be no way to do all these projects. That has me considering purchasing this since the price has dropped since it was released.

Lots of fun projects with pretty good details on how to build as well as the patter for the trip.

Very interested in giving this a shot. Thanks!
