[Robotgroup] Book recommendations

[Alex Iles]

There's that book out of MIT from about 15 years ago called "Mobile
Robots", by Jones & Flynn.  It has reasonably complete descriptions of two
projects, plus discussions about various topics like servo control,
cabling, sensors, etc.  Plus, maybe most valuable, an extensive reference
section on resources (vendors, etc).  I pretty sure most of the resources
are still valid.

p.s. it looks like one of the authors greatly prefers the 1st edition...
