Hello world robot

Hi guys. First post to try to sus out a good starting point for a first robot for myself to play, tinker and learn with.

I’m still at uni (limited capital) and am hesistant to commit to a purchase that would be too simple or too complex for me. I have attached a screenshot of my potential [attachment=0]shopping cart[/attachment]. Is there anything I am missing that will hinder my progress or anything you could suggest that would help it? I have no electronics and have access to most types high accuracy CNC machinery.

Are bipeds good for a start? Or should I be looking at something else? And could anyone recommend a simple target goal to work towards after working out the basics of motion and getting it moving.

I have (6months) experience coding microcontrollers, FPGA, PLC, ABB robots and a basic grasp of IK (learning at the moment).

Thanks for your replies.

The selected items look pretty good. The PS2 controller comes with its own receiver, so you don’t need to buy an extra.
