From the Publisher:
The author of this book is the developer of a custom programming language called NQC (Not Quite C). NQC has become widely popular among sophisticated LEGO MINDSTORMS users and is compatible with MAC or PC. Unlike other books on the market, this book focuses specifically on construction techniques and the step-by-step process of building and programming robots. Baum takes the reader through the entire process of building and programming MINDSTORMS( robots using both LEGO'S RCX code and his own code (NQC). The book includes high quality graphics and over 14 sample robots to build.
