Hi.
I'm busily trying to put together lego kits which cost about $400.00
My take on things is to buy a third high-torque motor, a micro motor
and one each of the four sensors. After that, I have to put together
enough parts to have a reasonable chance of building a robot. To this
end, I have identified sources for the pats found in the k-12 robot
tournaments and am also going through Baum's book. Regardless, I am
looking for suggestions especially regarding the parts necessary to
build walkers. (four, six or eight legs) Thus far, my proposed kits l
ook like:
Total = $3944.00
8 kits @ $493.00
30/8 = 3.750
25/8 = 3.125
20/8 = 2.500

| Could someone advise me how to spend $400 on Mindstorms related products? My thoughts are to either shell out a little extra to purchase the Robotics Invention System, Droid Developers Kit and Robotics Discovery Set, or to simply buy two Robotics (...)
