How to build your first Robot ($ 85)

Step 6You will also need, and you could also buy..

You will also need:

  • Double sided adhesive tape (for mounting, the foamy sort is best)
  • Some wire
  • Ordinary adhesive tape (to isolate a cable perhaps)
  • Simple soldering equipment (Any cheap kit will do fine)
  • An ordinary small nipper or scissor to cut things
  • A screwdriver

You could also get, while you're at it:

  • Some LED's if you want your robot to be able to signal to the world or make cool flashing-effects
  • More servos to make your robot move more..erh..arms? Or servos with servos on etc.
  • A tiny speaker if you would like your robot to produce sound-effects and communicate to you
  • Some sort of belt-track system. Robots with belt tracks are way cool as well, and the controller and the rest will be the same. Here is an example to what you could take it to with belt tracks TAMYIA makes cool belt-track-systems, and this one is also a favorite of mine
  • Any kind of line-sensor-kit, to turn your robot into a Sumo, a Line-follower, stop it from driving off tables, and everything else that needs "a look down".
