DivideByZero Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Hi, my b-day is coming up really soon and I really want a robotics kit! Can someone please help me? I want one to learn robotics with. These are my requirements: 1 - I want to be able to program the robot in C/C++. 2 - It should include all motors and sensors in the kit. 3 - Price should be relatively low. Is there any kit like that I can buy? Online somewhere? Please help me out, thanks!!
CaptainPanic Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Lego? http://mindstorms.lego.com/eng/community/resources/default.asp It uses NQC (Not Quite C) (http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/nqc/) for programming... and Lego is pretty awesome for building things like robots. - and the price is in the range of toys p.s. I've never used the programming-part myself, but I've heard good things about it. p.s.p.s. They have an online shop, and even sell individual pieces/bricks/parts.
DivideByZero Posted June 16, 2008 Author Posted June 16, 2008 oh right! I never thought of that. Lego sounds good. But I want to do the programming part excessively. i'll probably search around more
YT2095 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 you could always buy a simple USB breakout board that gives you full s/ware controlled I/O with several channels and some even come with Relay output directly. the Robot side of things is entirely up you after that
Think it thru Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Will this site help? http://www.robotoys.com/st_sresults.html Lots of robot toys, for the ones on the page I linked to I searched for programable robots. You might search Ebay and other sites too.
