The Best Way to build robot
Building your first robot can be super exciting! Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started:
What You'll Need:
- Arduino Uno starter kit (~$30)
- Small DC motors
- Wheels
- Battery pack
- Basic chassis (can be made from cardboard to start)
Getting Started:
- Start with a simple line-following robot or obstacle-avoiding robot
- Learn basic Arduino programming (free at Arduino's official website)
- Follow beginner-friendly tutorials on YouTube channels like 'DroneBot Workshop' or 'Paul McWhorter'
Recommended Learning Path:
- Build a simple motorized chassis
- Add sensors (like ultrasonic or IR sensors)
- Program basic movements
- Add more complex features one at a time
