Build and program MINDSTORM NXT robots with Daniele Benedettelli, one of the world’s most respected NXT robot builders. He shows you how to build and program them from scratch, starting with the simplest robots and progressing in difficulty to a total of seven award–winning robots! You can download all the code, along with low–resolution videos that show how your robot works when it’s finished. You don’t need to be a programmer to develop these cool robots, because all the code is provided, but advanced developers will enjoy seeing the secrets of Benedettelli’s code and techniques revealed.

If you think that you've found an error in this book, please let us know about it. You will find any confirmed erratum below, so you can check if your concern has already been addressed.
On page 22 & 23:Source code from downloads for chapter 2 uses the following commands to actually run the robot:
while (SensorUS(IN_4)>20);
while (SensorUS(IN_4)<30);
The book reverses the signs to <20 and >30 which didn't seem to make sense when I read it and is opposite to the code actually running the robot. If the book is incorrect on this it is quite confusing as a first step for a budding robotics programmer.
