Agreed, I own that, along with the aforementioned David Cook book. All kinds of fun electronic circuits for behavior control in both of David Cooks books, most don't require anything more complicated than 555 timers, voltage regulators and comparators for example. The second book does have a few chapters on "upgrading" discrete component robots to use microcontrollers should you decide later to go that route. Gordon's Book has a lot of small mechanisms and techniques for building robots out of simple things. They make a great pair.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
