any tips on where to start for amateurs and what nots , just want to start looking at the tech and programming involved
things like circuit boards , electrical components , materials , sdks , apis , all that
end goal is to just build robot made of X parts for shits and giggles
is this the place to start

SparkFun has good components, usual suspects.

step 1: decide what you want it to do so you have an idea of what kinds of sensors and actuators you'll need.
step 2: ???
step 3: pacific rim

arduino is a pretty easy to learn system. if you have any coding background at all you'll get how to do things pretty quick.

If you want to familiarise yourself with robotics,
buy one of the many arduino kits out there [cheapest one: http://www.ebay.de/itm/like/2520… ],build a simple rover, add some sensors on top of it, once you have made a basic one, the sky's the limit
good luck man

- I wish I could do something like that in a span of a yearGeorgesII
- i am considering working on a long term project like this - build an aluminum skeleton w/ articulation and 3D designed to cnc cut steel body composed of panelsprophetone
- then... develop the A.I. in arduino code, which'll be completely feasibleprophetone
- why just one , I will build an army in a weekendBattleAxe

hey e-pill, I remember you wanted to produce your robots in real (like 10+ years ago), and we were discussing the best method to model them for real.
Now that we have this 3D printers, did you ever try to 3D print your bots?
- i never got around to actual print them, but the files are ready to go anytime.epill
- do eeet! it's the next logical step. gotta keep with the times or somethingscarabin
- my work hours are crazy i have no time for me.. sucks.. my dream is to ship a robot to every qbner for everyday till i have no more robot idease-pill
- @uan.. thanks for asking me the nicest and best question i've had since .. ever!! cheers!! you are the best, and if i ever make a 3D print, my first is for you!e-pill
