Robot Building for Beginners
The Best Beginners Book
If you're just beginning to build robots then this really is the best book for you.Teaching yourself robotics is not that simple.
What helps is when the encouragement comes from someone who's been there and done that.
Robot Building for Beginners helps you by explaining the component parts of robot development, and shows you techniques to learn new discoveries on your own.
David Cook (the author of this super book)starts with the anatomy of a homemade robot and leads you with the best advice on how to proceed and this is done well.
You may need sources for tools and parts and help is provided in a consolidated list.
You will find that specific parts are recommended throughout the book.
The book also teaches you basic safety precautions and all about essential numbering and measuring systems.
Digital multi-meters are given an in-depth analysis which will help you to select and obtain one of these valuable tools for yourself.
Lots of other tools and parts are covered including: motors, wheels, resistors, wire strippers, needle nose pliers, tap and die, alligator clips, LEDs, solderless breadboards, soldering irons, heat-shrink tubing, photoresistors, transistors, chips, gears, nut drivers, screws, cut-off wheels, connectors, and batteries.
If you want inspiring help that will give you basic practical knowledge on getting started with building a robot then this is definitely the book for you.
This is not a heavy technical tome but a reliable starters guide to amateur robotics.

Robot building for fun
What do you want your robot to do ?
Robotics as a field is fascinatng.Robots can fly small planes,take aerial pictures,act as sentries,serve afternoon tea or just do the dusting.
Military applications include bomb disposal (with a 12 bore shotgun !), exploring tiny spaces - one recently explored the Great Pyramid ventilation shafts in Egypt, repetitive actions and much, much more.
So what you have to decide is what do you want YOURS to do - from a remote control Dalek or K9 (available from Amazon.co.uk) up to a complete robot system that you can take apart and rebuild, your choices are infinite.
Or you could just design your own robot and go in for something like Robot Wars ! Why not buy a basic kit and turn it into something unique - like your own Dr Who monster that interacts with you ?
i-SOBOT from Amazon
Latest Robot from TOMY
Its ready to go right out of the box !
The i-SOBOT is fully functional
and features 17 custom designed actuators
and gyro-sensor that allow it to keep balance
and freely move joints for impressive performance,
vivid movement, and incredible flexibility.
Robot includes speaking vocabulary of over 200 words
and phrases and more than 200 pre-programmed movements.
It's designed to follow up to 10 voice commands
Super-smooth movement in one cool robot!
i-SOBOT has unbelievably smooth robotics.
You'll laugh at his antics, watch him dance to the beat,
do push-ups, somersaults, imitations of animals, hula,
play air guitar, kick & punch with sound effects

Robonova - Incredible Robot Kit
ROBONOVA REVIEW ! GREAT NEW KIT rewritten by Keith
If you are looking for the ultimate Christmas or Birthday Gift - this could be it !
Robonova I gives robotic hobbyists a complete robot package. Robonova I does loads of amazing stuff - itcan walk, run, do flips, spins cartwheels, do dirty dance moves and once programmed, is ready to compete in any Robo One Class "J" competition
(whatever that may be !) (OK I know really - its robot wrestling in Jello)
Robot comes as a KIT -and its really tough.
The custom gold anodized metal servo brackets serve as a strong and lightweight exoskeleton (So liitle paws don't keep breaking it).
It has a strong plastic body case that should protect the control board and battery from damage.
Servo Motors
This fully articulating, 12-inch high, mechanical humanoid is controlled with 16 powerful HSR-8498HB digital servos built specifically for the Robonova I by Hitec.
This means that it can move in lots of ways.
The custom servos feature "set pin" locking of the servo arms for easy assembly, over-voltage current protection,
DO NOT PLUG IT DIRECTLY INTO THE MAINS - it won't go faster - it will melt. Its got super strong Karbonite gear trains, and "feedback" technology for simple programming.
(That means you can make it do things really easily)
What makes it all work is the Micom Control Board with aFlexible Interface
The control board is the heart of the Robonova I. Stuck to the back of the robot under a strong plastic case, the control board can operate up to 24 servos and 16 accessory modules.
Please do NOT attack this with a chisel or flamethrower.
Optional devices (and these WILL cost extra) will eventually include gyros, acceleration sensors, speech synthesis modules and operational devices such as Bluetooth controllers and R/C transmitters and receivers.
(But they don't come with it right now !)
This flexible and sophisticated interface allows you to customize Robonova I into the robot of your dreams.
Now just click on the link below to buy one -
go on DO IT NOW ! (Oh OK ..grumble grumble .. I go to all the trouble of telling you all about this great robot and you don't believe me... go on then buy a cheap plastic robot elsewhere - see if I care !) Actually I do a really nice line in cheap plastic robots too .. just down the page....
Robonova Full Details !
Is this the Ultimate Robot Kit ?
Gosh the maker goes on a bit about thier wonder robot (actually Its the one I would really like and I think I can just afford it) So I rewrote their tech stuff into a version of non-babble language.Servo Motors
This fully articulating, 12-inch high, mechanical humanoid is controlled with 16 powerful HSR-8498HB digital servos built specifically for the Robonova I by Hitec. These custom servos feature "set pin" locking of the servo arms for easy assembly, over-voltage current protection, super strong Karbonite gear trains, and "feedback" technology for simple programming. (Its go lots of things that make it move and do things)
Micom Control Board with Flexible Interface
The control board is the heart of the Robonova I. Secured to the back of the robot under a strong plastic case, the control board can operate up to 24 servos and 16 accessory modules.
(Gosh there's going to be a lot to add on here)
Optional devices will eventually include gyros, acceleration sensors, speech synthesis modules and operational devices such as Bluetooth controllers and R/C transmitters and receivers.
(oooh oooh I want a remote controlled helicopter too ...)
This flexible and sophisticated interface allows you to customize Robonova I into the robot of your dreams.
(Now this is going to ber FUN!
Easy Programming and Flexible Applications
Programming is simple with the supplied RoboScript and RoboBasic software, which upload programming to the robot via the included PC interface cable.
(You plug in the software to your computer and tell it what to do)
Beginners to robot programming technology will find it a snap to use the supplied RoboScript programming software.
(Will only take you an hour or so to figure out... what is it with these guys in robot labs that they can't speak english anyway)
Without knowing any programming language at all users can create operational subroutines with the click of a mouse. Meanwhile, you can use the RoboRemocon software to control your Robonova I with the operational data created with RoboScript.
(Means you have to install a SCRIPT - oh poo !)
RoboBasic, a programming tool based on the Basic programming language, is provided for more advanced users. Containing specific commands for simple robot operation, RoboBasic can also be used in conjunction with RoboScript to increase the performance of the supplied Micom controller board.
(You have to install a LANGUAGE)
The simplest way to program the Robonova I is with the "catch and play" function. Using RoboScript or RoboBasic, just move the robot into any position and click the mouse to "capture" that position.
(This is pretty neat and should make things easier)
Move the robot into another position and repeat the process. The software then links these captured positions and once activated, smoothly transitions the robot's movements through these programmed positions. (Oh that should be OK then)
The local store wouldn't let me play with theirs (well it IS a kit !) and the maker wouldn't accept my kind invitation to try out a kit for review (maybe they thought they wouldn't get it back ... rightly !)
More on the Robonova -
Gold is not really my colour - more stainless steel for me
What the manufacturer says:Functional Extensions
The Robonova I can be retrofitted with several accessory modules and ancillary items to customize its functionality.
***What they mean :***
You can buy more stuff and make it do lots more groovy things.
By adding additional servos and brackets, the head and waist can turn and "gripping" hands can be used. Gyros, acceleration sensors, speech functions, R/C control accessories and more can also be added as they become available.
Coo this could get a bit expensive..
Battery and Charger
Powering the Robonova I is a 5-cell, environmentally friendly NiMH rechargeable battery that delivers around one hour of operational time. Other battery options can include 7.4 volt 2-cell Lithium Polymer battery packs when used with a 6-volt regulator. The included D/C to D/C charger features a protection circuit to help prevent battery charging mishaps.
Don't forget to charge it up folks or it will just lie there and whimper. An Extra set of Batteries will brighten up Christmas morning enormously.
What's in the Box
MR-3024 Micro controller board for 24 servos, 16 digital HSR-8498HB servos, re-chargeable NiMH battery and charger, RoboBasic programming software and manual, PC serial port programming interface cable, Remocon IR controller, assembly guide, and user's manual.
Miniature sub-machine gun and trifle-throwing accessory are optional extras and not supplied with the basic kit.
Product Description
Available two ways, as a kit, so you can enjoy building your robot yourself and become a REAL Robo-Geek,
or if you really MUST as a pre-assembled, "RTW", "ready to walk" instant gratification wimpy version that you will always wish you had built yourself-robot.
Easy to Build
Your ROBONOVA-I kit was designed for easy assembly in 6 to 8 hours using only a screwdriver.
But if I were you I'd also have handy both kinds of screwdrivers with flat and phillips heads,a pair of large pliers,a pair of needle nose pliers,a magnet for the bits you drop that will inevitably hide under the skirting board until you replace it to do some electric wiring.
Lots of yawnmaking stuff puffing this really groovy robot's virtues followed here.
Its actually a really great bit of kit at a very reasonable price.
My Robot Rating 9/10 (didn't like the gold colour)
er - that's it - go buy one (preferably from me) and the absolute beginners robot building book and have months of fun and solder burnt fingers.
Are you cooking something ? - no mom I'm just adjusting the robot.
That way you'll end up with the most incredible robot ever ! (Oh and a used big meccano/lego set might be a good investment)

Keith's own build-it yourself Robot
Having played with a couple of kits,
The body is a Plastic Beaker (I tried a campbells sou can and cut my thumb so this is V2) and the head is the top from an aerosol spray (just the white push-on part that usually disguises the spray button.I made two holes and stuck leds through with wires through a hole into the beaker.I stole the leds from the Christmas lights (don't you do this or your Christmas lights won't work any more and everyone will be really pi**ed at you. I glued the head to the body with Araldite and that has to dry.
It doesn't move much yet !
This will have a little tractor underneath and should cost under $5 to make.
I'll let you know how I get on...
