Robot Parts

So you want to build a robot? Think it might be $$$$$? Technically difficult???? Fear not! As your clueless teacher I can assure you that although I might not have all the answers Mr "Google" will be able to answer all our questions! Oh....and Mrs "Youtube"!! Credit must be given where credit is due, the design and programming sketch came from a Guy named Roy watch his great video below

(He also has a killer accent!!!!)

I got all the parts I needed from a weird site called Banggood....no it is not an explosives site!!!....click the link below to go to this site BUT DON"T SPEND ANY MONEY TILL YOU ASK MUM AND DAD!!!!
