Lego builder project - help?

Hi, we have just started a new engineering project on my degree where we have to build a robot that will build a lego house. The robot will be picking up the pieces from one location and placing them on a base ‘lego board’. The design of the robot frame is similar to a 3d printer. The house will be designed using solidworks. My team has to take the solidworks assembly and program the machine to put the pieces into the correct place.

We all have no experience in programming and are unsure about what type of microcontroller/software would be best for this. We have just learnt how to use Arduino uno, so it would be nice if we could use that.

Hi Kat_Anderson,

The choice of microcontroller will depend on your team. What kind of input / output you will need for your project will have a big impact and the solution software (programming) you can work with.
