Hi,Well, I think a ready made PCB would go a long way towards those that are unsure of where what goes and if they're reading the instructions right, but it won't teach anybody so solder properly.For the rest, I agree that it would lock people down to "painting by numbers", although I think anything built from other peoples designs are in that category.Why don't you just start selling PCB's (and whatever you think people need) for the $50 'bot? It's not like anyone would be forced to go that route, but then there's an extra string to play for those that want.
by you you mean me i assume?
well it is admins bot so admin would probably be the guy who'd need to do it but i have thought of trying to make a kit for a bot that's as cheep as possible to make.
as for it becoming a $150 robot with the addition of pcbs i think you'll find that quite the opposite effect can be achieved as long as quantities are sufficient. [...] pcbs usually for $3.
Also that kit doesn't include a $50 robot PCB from what I can see. It includes a standard perfboard that will work for the $50 instead of the bread board.
