Chapter 1 - understanding lego robotics

In this chapter, it explains basic components of Lego robotics (parts).

The chapter starts off mentioning a bit of history behind Lego bricks, then explains the math and advantages of Lego bricks. Basically it explains how math is applied to the studless/technic bricks - proportion, Pythagoras' Theorem. It also explains how shifting from technic bricks/beams to studless beams/pins/connectors has opened up possibilities in design - less pieces are used to create a bot, weight reduction, countless connectivity options (Technic liftarms), stronger structure.
