Hey all, so I recently stumbled on this site that this guy put together for robotics, ranging from absolute beginner projects to more advanced stuff.

I'm currently working on the $50 Autonomous Robot project (just starting out myself) and it's a great way to gain some of the skills that you will eventually need later on: soldering/modding a servo/PWM/progamming microcontrollers/power regulation/PCB stuff/etc...

Anyway, here is the step-by-step guide he put together: http://www.societyofrobots.com/step_by_step_robot.shtml

Note: The project was made a couple years ago so with price inflation and depending on where you live and the availability of parts the price may vary.

Enjoy!

robotics are new to me, but a good site though
Thanks for pointing it out

 

Yeah! It's new to me too and I'm learning a lot from this, it's great stuff! This seems like a good building block for people starting out!
