520    The book provides basic, practical knowledge on getting 
       started in amateur robotics. There is a mix of content: 
       from serious reference tables and descriptions to personal
       stories and humorous bits. The robot described and built 
       in this book is battery powered and about the size of a 
       lunch box. It is autonomous; that is, it isn't remote 
       controlled. The book is broken up into small chapters, 
       suitable for bedtime (or bathroom) reading. The 
       characteristics and purposes of each major component 
       (resistor, transistor, wire, and motor) are described, 
       followed by a hands-on experiment to demonstrate. Not only
       does this help the reader to understand a particular piece,
       but it also prepares them with processes to learn new 
       parts on their own. An appendix offers an introduction to 
       3D printing and parts of the robot can, as an alternative,
       be "printed" using a 3D printer. The master project of the
       book is a simple, entertaining, line-following robot.
