Full Text Reviews:
School Library Journal - 04/01/2025 Gr 4–6—This four-book series explores the world of competitive robotics, covering events like drone racing, robot sumo wrestling, and other high-tech sports. Each book provides a balanced mix of text and color photos, focusing on the technology, mechanics, and history behind these competitions rather than encouraging participation. Readers will find clear explanations of how robots function, the rules of each sport, and key developments in the field. The writing is informative and straightforward, with images that clarify concepts rather than create excitement. While not aimed at drawing in casual readers, the series serves as a useful resource for research or those interested in the technical aspects of robotic competition. A glossary, an index, a player profile, tips for getting involved, and recommended resources conclude each book. VERDICT A fine addition for collections needing material on robotics and technology-driven sports. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
