Hi there, I'm starting in the world of electronics and computer interaction, building my own circuits connected to different input/output of the PC, etc...
My main goal is to have the computer control something in reality. Robotics. And my main problem is I lack the skill about crafting robot parts that will be attached to motors to create movement. I don't have any tools and have no experience working with any kind of materials.
I'm looking to make a solid robot, something that can potentially survive a crash (in case a remote controled car!) or survive anything wrong that can happen to it, the structure would need to be solid. My budget is pretty low and yet, I'm probably able to make some money available for that hobby. I don't know what materials I can use that suits my situation and needs, something that would not require the whole workshop to make the part, something that could be light and solid (or heavy), yet it has to be easy to use.
My post is not directly about robotics and might have better feedback in other newsgroup, can you tell me which, and if you know a website that can get me started, please tell me!
Thanks for any help in advance! Simon
