(2/2) I also found the same material was reused and updated for two further books by the author. The next was in 1983 - "Fifty Facts About Robots". While the Daleks are still called robots, the Cybermen have been updated with a drawing of two 'Revenge of the Cybermen' style! (Although the left hand Cyberman does look a bit iffy!)
And in 1985, "Just Look At... Robotics" the entry about Daleks being robots has gone! (Hurrah!) And for the Cybermen there's a photo from Earthshock.

@quazarsamcoupe@mastodonapp.uk Firstly, nostalgia! I remember that book! It's unlocked a memory, but I'm not sure if it's the same book. Did it feature a picture of a car frame with robot legs instead of wheels? Might have been a different book. Also, are those front cover robots from anything? Why are their heads the front on a Space 1999 Eagle spaceship?
