I like how they create robots from other objects. There are even instructions! This is a fun book to read. The suspense is fun. I recommend this book.

I thought this book was hilarious. It had lots of DIY instructions too, which made it really fun to read. I recommend reading the first book before this one because there are some references to it. All around I think this book was great to read. It also had some nice, funny illustrations.
I really enjoy Tesla's character. She's always the one thinking on her feet and getting the stuff done. And they have a continuing mystery arc involving their spy parents. Are Nick and Tesla in danger? Are their parents?
Nick & Tesla are spending the summer with their genius uncle. When a Pericles comic book goes missing Nick and Tesla make them selves junior detectives. Their are also some instructions on how to make your own robots.
This book is another Nick and Tesla story! In Half Moon bay, there's been a lot of recent break ins. The wonder hut has a new owner. Nick and Tesla have to find the culprit behind the robberies and stop the robot army before it's too late!
I love this book and I love robots. This book is really cool and very action-packed. Inside the story, there are mini instruction guidelines to make you own robots. If you are interested in building and reading about robots, I suggest that you get or read this book!!
Nick,Tesla, and their uncle are facing a lot of danger in their lab including Hoverbots, Bristlebots, and much more other robots. I really enjoy reading this book and recommend it thus far.
It's a trilling mystery with two siblings on a mission to discover who has committed the crimes in the community. The two are on the mystery, but it's not going to be all that easy. You'll have to make their own new gadgets to first defeat the criminal's little evil robot servants.
