Humble Bundle of LEGO Robotics Books

Looks like the folks at Humble Bundle are at it again! This time around, the "pay what you want" service is offering a fantastic array of books by Apress aimed at helping you delve into the world of Lego Robotics. The titles being offered include books on LEGO Technic, EV3 and Mindstorms, as well as some general books on robot creation and a few titles devoted to programming in Arduino, Python, Raspberry Pi and C if you care to dabble in those.

You might be thinking, "Great, but I don't really have an interest in robotics". And if you were, I would be quick to mention that EV3 doesn't just have to be for robots. It can be quite an effective way to animate your MOCs and Arduino's capabilities can extend to fine control over lighting in your MOCs. (But, that is another story for another day.)

The Humble Bundle system works on a tiered payment arrangement. $1 (or more) will get you five different books. For $8 (or more) you will receive six additional books, and $15 (or more) will get you yet another five titles. That's a total of sixteen books for your $15 investment. Not too shabby! All books are delivered electronically and DRM free! A portion of the money for this bundle goes to The AbleGamers Foundation Inc., a charity aimed at creating assistive technology for disabled gamers.

There are thirteen days left to grab this bundle so get them while you can. While you are there, you may also want to check out the No Starch Press "Brainiac 2 Bundle" which is available for eight more days and offers some more traditional LEGO books along with some kid friendly programming titles.

For less than 1€ I'm buying it. I don't have the Mindstorm, but this could make me buy it.

I am following Humble Bundle for quite some time now and it usually has some interesting items. Mindstorm is not my cup of tea, nevertheless it's a real bargain for those that are into it.

@CCC: Can you recommend some Arduino Beginner Guides then? Maybe some with focus on Lego or easy adaptable ones?
