Welcome to the RobotShop Grand Tutorial: How to Make a Robot, a series of 10 lessons that will teach you the principles behind making your own custom robot. This lesson focuses on the "brain" of a basic robot, otherwise known as the "microcontroller" and covers what it is, does and how it will be used in the robot. Once complete, move on to lesson 5 - Choosing a Motor Controller.
