iBotz Beginner Robot Kits
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 1 of July , 2009 at 10:05 am
Building robots isn’t easy, and everybody has to start somewhere. Me? My first robot was a cute little photovore, but I had to teach myself to solder in order to build it. If that’s a big first step for you (it’s okay to admit it), iBotz kits are small, cheap, fun, and a good way to get yourself (or your kids) introduced to the amazing and spectacular world of DIY and hobby robotics, no soldering (or other experience) necessary.
The kits come in several different designs with different interactive capabilities. The cheapest (a little car that runs away from sounds) is only $30, while the most advanced (responds to sounds, avoids obstacles, and follows lines) is $65. This is easy cheap enough that after you’ve built it and played with it for a while, you should have no problem taking it apart again to hack it up into something different and/or better.
