Thanks! Thanks.....
I don't think these robots will be taking over the world anytime soon! am still working on self replication though!
If you want to get started in building I suggest you get your hands on the following:
Solder Iron - 25W or higher (new solder doesn't contain Lead, so needs decent wattage to melt it)
Solder (of course!)
Spool of wire.... single core is best I find (thats one solid core. not loads of strands)
Wire clippers and strippers
small pliers... especially some needle nose
A multimeter is very useful, but for beginning its not essential
All that and some components should get you started! You should be able to get it all for less than £30..... I would also then invest in:
A handyman holder.... moveable crocodile clips on a heavy stand to hold things while you solder.
Solder Iron Stand With sponge- invaluable really!
The junkbots book!
hope thats helpful
