My first robot - "roachbot". Simple and stupid. Bumps into things, backs up, turns around. Cardboard body, Arduino brain, differential drive wheels, whisker sensors. Took me about 8 hours total, including design, programming, and construction. Everything purchased ready-made except for the cardboard body. Got lots of great advice from this site!
