*I want to build my first robot - Got a few questions.

[nukeman]

Hey everyone,

Well, I want to build my first robot, and for learning reasons I thought I would pick up a robot kit. Is that a good idea?

Any tips for someone who wants to build their first robot, and get there feet wet? I have NO experience building robots, but its always been a passion.

Is this a good one/type to start with?

Any tips would be fantastic?

Thanks all

looks like a good start. Life is somewhat a trial and error so try it .

I can recommend getting experience with a Lego Mindstorm set, which, last time I looked, has a large community and is often used in robotics introductory courses.

Hi nukeman..
Well, I have some hands on experience in robotics. Well If you want to build a combat robot then visit www.teammass5.tk It has some basics and I hope It'll be useful.
Best Luck!!
