Buy an Axon, Axon II, or Axon Mote and build a great robot, while helping to support SoR.

I find that robots often only work when no one but the builder is looking (serious, tho . . .)
Final conclusion: It'll only drive forward. if I shine a light of to the side it'll turn, but other wise will just go forward, no reverse if it's dark
the $15 cable is crap. IMO that's too much for just a cable
i'm currently using a parallel port cable with no problems.i haven't invested in a "propper" programmer as i've never problems with the parallel cable.your milage may vary of course.i'm using a vary similar process to the Linux instructions here:http://www.instructables.com/id/E5H5UDWB5UEUKIKV8V/?ALLSTEPSbut i have no reason to suspect it won't be the same with the windows version.might be worth someone else checking it out to see if it works for them too.it maybe an alternative to the serial cable that's causing so many people problems...dunk.
will it work with an atmega8?will I just have to look at the atmega8 pin assignment and the parallel port. the mosi, miso, reset, etc.
should I learn basic and then learn C or go straight for C
