[Robotgroup] Starting robotics, but where?

[Mohammad El-Abid]

Hello,

 

I'm thirteen and I've recently have thought about doing robots, I do have  a
background in programming, but not in mechanical and electrical. I've looked
at a couple of kits and listed my reasons.

 

1: VEX, cheap , not really building

2: Arobot seems cool ( http://www.robotics.com/arobot ) , limited building

3: Lego MINDstorms, seems alright but not really programming or building

4: http://www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=27311, cheap, but perhaps a
bit advance?

 

Thanks for your time,

Mohammad
