A friend shared the gaming computer he built for his kid. This reminded me of my Dad’s devotion the building Heathkit computers from com kits and components he bought from their catalog. Which leads me to my first love: the Heathkit Hero 1 robot. I campaigned for months when I was 12 for getting one of these. Alas after months my interest turned elsewhere and I never owned a Hero. #heathkit #heathkitcatalog #computerkit #robotkit #hero1robot

Review of the Elecrow CrowBot BOLT - a fun autonomous and remote control robot kit

A really well thought-out, and well-produced, kit from Elecrow. A few problems with the language in the documentation aside, it is a valuable learning product for both young and old.

Started building a robot today!
I got this one because it was the full building experience (connecting servos/motors and circuit boards) plus coding with python or an app. ALSO the body is made of (ply?)wood and I really dig the #sustainability aspect of that.
I feel like this kit has a steep learning curve, and requires a bit of extra prep and extra items before you get started building.
