I want to start making smaller easy robots..
« on: March 17, 2011, 05:02:24 PM »

whats my best thing to start with?  I figured some type of spidery thing or something but I'm not sure.. I thought someone here might know.  We have a friend nearby with a metal shop and have soldering equipment and stuff so maybe if I get REALLY good at it I can make a REAL camarasaurus!! then IMR can program it not to eat me or my dogs.. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Innvo Lab's not going anywhere. And if it's just to protect their precious, delicate skin, clothings okay. They shouldn't be dressed up like dolls.

The best way to start is definitely with a kit. That gives you a look at all the basic components of a robot and some kits also introduce you to the programming aspects.

They all sound good.. I'd really like to learn some of the programming stuff as well and I can't wait to try and make my pleos do other stuff.. Thanks everyone!  If I see one I want I will post a pic or link and you guys can say either yes or kick me and say no.

Thanks everyone!!

Geez louis, that's way, way overpriced. It's not worth that price. I don't like that.

TOILET ROBOT!!! LOL! I'd reccomend OWI brand for myself, but you may want to start at something more advanced, I can't do small parts  :P.
This looks good for the price http://www.robotshop.com/meccano-spykee-micro-remote-controlled-robot-2.html
I love that robot site! Look, you can build a robo pet mouse! http://www.robotshop.com/ProductInfo.aspx?pc=RB-Sbo-61_Group&cf=228301a1

Don't worry Talon.. once I make the mouse I'll start work on twin life sized T-Rex's for us to ride on. I'm sure it won't be that complicated..  ;D ;D :D :D

Wow! A ride-on T Rex! We'd be the envy of every kid in the neighborhood. Personally I'd go with something on four legs first before we start talking about T Rex. Energy and weight distribution would be easier on something that's ummm.... more spread out I guess? Still any ride-on robot would be fun.
