The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book, Vol. 1: Machines and Mechanisms shows off small projects to build with LEGO?s system of gears, motors, gadgets and other moving elements.

Follow along and build rack-and-pinion steering systems, sliding doors, grasping claws, ball-shooting devices of every sort. And just by building, you'll explore the principles of simple machines, gearing, power translation, and more. Imagine. Create. Invent. Now, what will you build?
