Before you can start building a robot, of your own design or anyone else’s, there are certain things you are going to need.
For a start you are going to need it to do at least some minimal “thinking”. For example it needs to tell the motor(s) what to do. You have a wealth of choices here, from cheap through to mega expensive. It might be a certain choice is all you need, or maybe you will want to pair up a couple for the best of all worlds.
