Parts & Bundles
Parts bundles are an easy way to get started. Many of the bundles are associated with the following books: Junkbots, Bugbots and Bots on Wheels, Robot Building for Beginners, and the Absolute Beginners Guide to Building Robots. Buying the parts required as bundles saves endless time sourcing the individual components.
Other kits like the Robotics Shield kit for Arduino and the ActivityBot by Parallax provide all the parts necessary for a complete robot and include comprehensive tutorials in an easy to use to online format. These tutorials provide structured learning and cover key principles of electronics, programming and robotics and enable the person to work through at their own pace.
Ideal for individuals and great for classroom work.
