Ask HN : Robot kits other than Mindstorms? 2 points by vizard 18y ago ↗ HN Looking for a programmable robot kit. Cost is one concern : something under $600 preferable. Focus is on the "programmable" part. Any suggestions?
[–] brk 18y ago ↗ I've had a lot of fun with the Parallax Boe-Bot kits.http://www.parallax.com/tabid/411/Default.aspxI've been working wit the Basic Stamp (and other micros) for probably the last 12 years or so. To me, it's a good mix of powerful and easy to get up to speed on, so the initial learning curve isn't so steep as to be discouraging.
