Simple Bots are a series of mechanical creatures made out of commonly available materials. Even if you have no prior experience building robots, you can quickly getting started building Simple Bots.

To make Simple Bots, all you need are simple tools. Almost all of the tools we will use in the creation of our friendly little bots are basic hand tools. In fact, the only two power tools that you might end up using are a power drill and a heat gun (we will go over that in a bit).

Most of these tools you probably already have lying around the house and I am going to assume you understand the basic operating principle of most of them. If not, you should quickly do research and familiarize yourself.

Once you have an idea of the tools you need, why not make some bots? To get instructions for all 24 Simple Bots, check out the Simple Bot eBook.

The first tool you will need you almost assuredly have lying about somewhere. Of course this is referring to the trusty screwdriver. In this book you will be using flat head and Philips head screwdrivers of varying sizes. If you don't immediately set aside this book and go get some!
