Re: Robotics Text needed for new course...

For a remote controlled robot book, I liked pieces of Grant I.'s "Kickin' Bot". Even though it is battle bots related, he has a good mix of properly designing a competitive machine and good examples of common sense principles (a 3/16 plate weighs 75% of a 1/4 plate, and is much better than drilling 25% of the surface away).
