Maybe you would be interested in an introduction to Markov Decision Processes like this.
You might also look at Approximate Dynamic Programming texts.
Other than that I agree with the recommendations you have been given.
Haven't taken the course, but I wouldn't recommend buying it. It's just not worth the money in the case of Reinforcement Learning in my opinion. There are free options, that will take you from complete beginner to someone that can understand the rapidly changing field of Reinforcement Learning.
My personal recommendation:
Deep Reinforcement Learning Hands-On: Apply modern RL methods, with deep Q-networks, value iteration, policy gradients, TRPO, AlphaGo Zero and more (English Edition) https://www.amazon.de/dp/B076H9VQH6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_RPUDCb2BV3C0B

actually crawling bots would be ideal as you wouldn’t have to pick em up when they fall, trials would be faster.
I am interested too.
I found this: https://www.amazon.com/SunFounder-control-Crawling-Robotics-Electronics/dp/B0136AS1ZG
First I'd heard of it, thanks! To wit:

And supposedly it's out as of October 15th. Well, pre-order for Nov 13th: https://www.amazon.com/Reinforcement-Learning-Introduction-Adaptive-Computation/dp/0262039249/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1541819572
This also seems like a nice quadruped robot kit, with some documentation and code repository.
> model-based RL seems to borrow a lot of things from Control Theory, for example, LQR, iLQR, DDP
Not to mention, MPC!
Anyways a textbook I had in a digital control course was Computer Controlled Systems, in case that's any help.
Make sure you get a thorough understanding of the Kalman filter, plenty of resources for that.
I leaned control theory from the Ogata textbook during university. The lectures were useless so that's really all I used to prepare for exams. Might be a good skimmable reference if you can find a PDF somewhere.
I suspect the control theory being referenced by model-based RL might be a bit more advanced than an entry level textbook though.
Maybe Deep Reinforcement Learning Hands-On but I haven't read it so I can't guarantee for its quality.
This was the base:
1/16 2.4 Ghz Exceed RC Magnet EP Electric RTR Off Road Truck Sava Blue
I have the roll cage, base-plate and camera on it now instead of the shell.
