The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book, Vol. 2: Cars and Contraptions is a visual project collection by LEGO builder Yoshihito Isogawa, published by No Starch Press in 2015. Focused on LEGO Technic and the Power Functions system of motors and moving components, it presents hundreds of compact models that explore vehicle motion, steering, walking mechanisms, and reactive gadgets. Rather than offering conventional sequential building instructions, the book provides color photographs from several angles and parts lists for each design. Readers study the finished construction, identify connections, and recreate or alter it themselves. This format makes the volume less a manual for producing identical models than a catalog of mechanical ideas. Its cars, tanks, crawlers, and robotic forms introduce practical principles including gearing, direction changes, differentials, suspension, and the translation of motor rotation into other kinds of movement. The book therefore occupies a useful middle ground between a LEGO model book and an introductory exploration of mechanical design, emphasizing observation, experimentation, and recombination of working mechanisms.
