i think the £10-15 is a little little. try to aim for around £25-30 and scavenge what you can. servos are better than motors but motors are fine. how are you programming, PIC or AVR?
As for servos and the likes, you can salvage these from r/c stuff too (in cars they are normally used for steering.

usualy a motor with gears that is programed to only move for a certain distance
Hi,Can you solder?Actually building a robot is a lot more involved than building the 'Real Robots' one because it was essentially a kit that came piece by piece with a magazine.£10-15 is a little low for a full robot, BUT, it's enough to build the basic circuitry for the $50 robot (if you can solder).While you're building that you could be saving for other parts. One of the great things about Admins $50 robot tutorial is that you don't specifically need to use fancy materials if you can't get or afford them. All you really need is a little ingenuity, time and patience.Best of luck
