BlueBot is a platform for autonomous robot experimentation, engineered around a specific set of motors. It's in itself an experiment in mixing easy-to-find components and custom components, with the end goal being a well-engineered, compact, flexible and expandable platform for experimentation and development. It's a learning tool in development, construction and customization. Some of the requirements were predefined, while others were dictated by available tools and parts.

More and more robotics books have come on the market over the past few years. Here are some of the best.
