Anyone with robotics experience I can brain-pick?
griffindodd:
Thinking of trying to build a small autonomous robot, mainly just for the experience and learning something new. Thought it would be cool to build a little mouse droid or something like that that would follow my baby girl around the house, react to her voice, chase the cat etc etc.
Anyone got much experience with this kind of thing? I'm not a programmer at all so I need something that is a bit more 'Joe-Public' friendly, perhaps an existing toy or kit that I can mod or learn the basics from.
Any advice gladly appreciated.

I should poke you in the eye for that terrible link formatting. yeah I got all of my rotating screen gear from Pololu, I guess I was looking for more input from someone who's into the hobby themselves.

I have made a few line following bots and basic robotic things. I would recommend starting out with something simple like this. (or a brissle-bot if that is too difficult :laugh: )
Better yet, i would look for a hackerspace in your area. They are always willing to help out with projects like this. The one near me is quite small but they can't help but to share their knowledge of electronics.
