Product Description:
Ok. You bought the kit for yourself or one of your kids. You used the instructions in the box to build a robot or two. Now what? You may not be ready to design and build your own robots, but you don’t want to build the same robot over again. This book is the perfect way to build additional projects from the same kit, and then to improvise and design your own. Ten Cool Projects. One hour each. Perfect.

Robots Included:

n Ludic Ordinance Units, (LOUs), are usually put together to create entertainment for the troops, but they usually end up serving as moving targets for Imperial Stormtroopers.

n Scorpion Assassin Droid a silent and deadly hunter. Tracking its intended target with a variety of sensors, it moves stealthily to within striking distance.

n Draigons swoop from the sky to attack their prey, carrying off to their lairs to be devoured those creatures unfortunate enough to become their victims.

n Droid Transporters can carry up to a dozen Droids over rough terrain and deliver them where they are needed.

n X-Stormer is a prototype of what would eventually become the AT-AT. Imperial engineers worked for many years to create the X-Stormers.

n Super Battle Droid is a biped that walks on two legs by shifting its weight from side to side and moving its legs forwards and backwards.

n Go-Rillas are fast biped robots often used by the smugglers and bounty hunters of the galaxy to defend their hideouts. What they lack in intelligence they more than make up for in speed and brute strength.

n Imperial All-Terrain Scout Transport, better known as the AT-ST, is a small, agile, armored biped that can carry two Imperial Stormtroopers.

n Orbital Defense Cannons, guided by their large targeting radar dish, can shoot down even the largest Imperial Star Destroyers and Corellian Cruisers.

n Imperial Hounds serve as both companions for the troops and as powerful tools of war on the battlefields of the Empire.

Rating : - A very disappointing book
The assembly diagrams are hard to follow, occasionally calling for parts not included in the set and the robots are flimsy and generally don't work. The book is no longer supported by the publisher even though the cover gives a web address for a free additional robot plan. The only thing to learn from this book is what not to do.
