I just ordered my first robot parts from robotshop.com. Unfortunately some of the parts are out of stick, and the order will first be shipped on April 7, 2012 :(
This is what i ordered:
Arduino UNO
Adafruit Motor Shield
Servo
Ultrasonic sensor
2WD Beginner Chassis
Bump Switch
And some other standard parts (Breadboard, Jumpers and such)
Well, April 7…use the time to think about what you wanna do with that parts. If you already got an idea then check if you can improve it. Go to collect tons of tutorials (programming, DIY things etc.), information about your targeted design, infos about batteries, microcontrollers, sensors etc. All this will help you getting your task done without “blue smok”
