Gordon mccomb is one great man he made the best selling robotics book robot builders bonanza, which in my opinion is the best robotics book out there. He did many technical books that I found very interesting and educational.
When I first got into robotics I picked up his book at borders not knowing which books were good, I read the first chapter and it interested me so I bought it and read the whole book, and my knowledge of robotics was at amateur level, after reading then I started collecting robotics books, I have 42 so far and counting and robot builders bonanza is the best book in my collection.
All I have to say is Gordon mccomb is my favorite author I have a question what do you do besides robotics?
