Nick and Tesla return in an all-new, robot-filled adventure!

When a rash of robberies hits the town of Half Moon Bay, 11-year-old sleuths Nick and Tesla are determined to catch the criminals—but to do so, they'll have to build a host of new gadgets and gizmos! In this robot-themed follow-up to Nick and Tesla's High-Voltage Danger Lab, the brother-and-sister duo build four different droids out of ordinary household objects—and illustrated instructions are included throughout the story, so you can build them, too! Make bristlebots that buzz, hoverbots that float above the ground, battlebots that duke it out, and more! Can Nick and Tesla catch the criminal mastermind—and foil his army of rampaging robots—before it's too late?

When I read the title I wanted to read it because I like robots. Even though they look scary, it still seams like a very good book to read. That is why I thin it will be a go book to read.

Tesla and Nick are still staying with there Uncle Newt,Who lives in California.One of Uncle Newts experiments go horrible wrong,and Tesla and Nick try to help him fix the mess he made.These books are very interesting and cool.If my uncle lived and California and was a cool inventor I would be over his house every summer.I recommend this book for 9-14 year old,and the series will have you hooked on the first chapter.

This book is so cool and fun! My cousin got it for me for my birthday and I loved reading it! I would recommend this book.

I wanna read this so bad.....

In the second installment in the series, Tesla and Nick are sent to stay with their cloistered Uncle in California. Uncle Newt is an eccentric inventor, but when one of his inventions go horribly wrong, Nick and Tesla must help him get out of this mess. This series definitely has me hooked on it. The first book was just spectacular and I couldn't get enough of Nick and Tesla. I could relate to Tesla, because she is the older sister and sometimes I just think I know more than my younger sister. The sibling rivalry between Nick and Tesla was humorous as well as the relationship between their Uncle and the twins. I also liked how there was random signs that said WARNING or DANGER! which peaked my interest. The book also had some experiments that the reader could do. I did some of the experiments myself, and they were actually really cool.

I lovvvve this book. It is the best book I read. If you like building or doing experiments mixed with mystery, you will so love this book

Robot Army Rampage is a really awesome book, and I hope more of the s a m e s e r i e s will come out

In this book Nick and Tesla, two twins, help their friend Silas find his father's quite valuable stolen comic book in order to save his store Hero Worship, Inc. With the help of their Uncle Newt, a brilliant but quirky character, the twins build their own robots which are used to recover the comic book and then are used to defend against the thief and his own army of robots! This is the second book of the series. The neat thing about this story is that it contains instructions and blueprints for five different robot projects that actually work. My son and I are currently building the Explorer Bot and so far it has been a fun venture

This too was another amazing book by Bob Pflugfelder and Steve Hockensmith . It was fun and original and like the same book as Nick and Telsa's High Voltage Danger Lab, it had a bit with mysteries and it was very interesting. It was an easy read coming from Nick and Telsa, the "awesome detectives." They have to solve this mysteries with the help of their gadgets the built in order to solve this mystery, dun dun dunnn.... I hope to read more of these books, it was very intriguing, fast pacing, and mysterious.

This book was really cool! Its all about robots! If you like robots and adventure you should read this book! Its a great book to read this summer!
