I wanted to get these a long time ago. But then found the prices really crazy. I might as well just spend more time buying small cheap programmable controllers, small motors/ actuators and built/ code from it.

But what block programming do you use ?

unless you know Python or some software language, you can program.

How to do these by yourself ? where to get the motors and actuators ?
You need to know coding and CS in order to built code from it.

Buy a simple kit like this

And start learning from youtube. Should not be afraid of programming also. Tons of ready made codes that you can copy & paste from internet. Its not like 1980-1990s' where you still need to code manually from scratch.

but this robot didn't come along with the program.

So I have to do my own.

Sorry I am not from CS background

how do I copy and paste code from internet ?

I have zero knowledge of code.

You should go to youtube and look at robotics for beginners. Or basic robotics. Also beginner robotic coding/ programming. Look and understand what is needed. Then plan how you wanna start. With Mindstorms you pay for convenience.

Anything you do from scratch will be hard. But the satisfaction is much more higher. Bragging rights is higher too. laugh.gif
