Chapter one goes through the basics of Lego robotics. The basics include measurements of pieces, e.g. to the right there is a lego piece, it would be described as being 2 x 4 x 1. That lego piece is a traditional lego piece and appeared first in 1949. The chapter also talks about evolution of lego and how to apply mathematics to Lego with the pythagoras theorem. (A squared + b squared = c squared it is useful when you are trying to find which LEGO bit fits in the diagonal on a square chassis.) An example of how the pythagorean theorem is if a frame has the sides 12 and 20 then we can put the number in to the theorm equation and find out that the diagonal beam would be It also talks about the ratios between. The ratio is 6:5 and it is used to make the block fit.
