Go up one level in this thread


I'm a big fan of Lego's and would love to try their "robotics" unit, but $500
seems pricey.

So do you know what is the "cheapest" robotic possibility out there?
Either commercial or build your own?

While Lego's are fun, I would think there has to be a way to make a robot arm A
LOT cheaper than $500.

Sincerely,
