I've always wanted to make a little robot, and I think now is a good time to start.
Im looking for a good starting robot kit that has a few specification:
-programmable : I like the idea of a reprogrammable robot, and Im a compsci major with a fair amount of programming experience so it should be too difficult
-cheap : im relatively poor (college student) and i dont want to go too far over, say, $150
-relatively simple assembly: this is the section i have least experience in, but i think its the most exciting and visceral, so i would like a kit with a good introduction to sandwich board and soldering and what not.
Looking online, its hard to get a good feel of what the kit is like from their little advertising blurb, so if any of you guys have any good advice, i would appreciate it
