Title: purchasing the right materials
Post by: rainbow fox on October 18, 2013, 02:54:59 AM

I am completely new to robotics and am learning it through Robot Builders Bonanza 3. (based off the requested books list.) My questions are, should I also buy the fourth installment in the series? Or is it better to have the third book. I apologize if this question does not belong here. (like I have previously stated, I'm new. Thank you.)

The description for the fourth edition says it has 10 new projects that are not in the third edition.
If you really want those projects, buying the fourth edition would get that for you.
Personally, I'd think that the third edition gives you enough knowledge that you can then make up your own projects instead.
