Im a young teenage kid looking to start robotics

I love technology and learning new things and I want to build my first robot. I’ve kinda searched around for like beginner steps and stuff but I don’t want to go and buy a kit. I wanna salvage whatever parts I can and make a robot. And also I really don’t understand some of the videos and websites i’ve seen. Like at all. Do you guys have any advice or like tips or anything cause I’m new to building, and programming, and circuits and coding. And im overwhelmed by it all. Thank you and have a great day/night!

Hi @CrimsonSkull77 and welcome to the forum!

It is great to hear that you wanna build your first robot!

We usually recommend this tutorial for beginners: https://community.robotshop.com/tutorials/series/how-to-make-a-robot

Regarding programming and coding, you should probably start with Arduino: https://community.robotshop.com/tutorials/series/arduino-5-minute-tutorials

Regarding other hardware, do you have any salvaged parts already? Like some motors, batteries etc?

@CrimsonSkull77 try to salvage DC motors and any mechanical constructions that you think it will help you.
