ArcBotics Sparki Robot this is the name of the robot I am purchasing to begin. Mainly because it is for my daughter but i Also want to start learning and build my own robot moving forward. That's my introduction here, taking small steps into a much bigger world. What inspires me is the personalities of the robots in Star Wars. Now I know that is just a movie and I don't expect to get a speaker and mic attached to a robot and have an instant personality but that is my goal to learn how to program personality robots. My first personality robot goal is to make something similar to R2D2 meaning simple interactions and not deep conversation like C3P0. I am mainly curious right now what would I have to buy to attach to a robot that would give it a programmable audio channel. Mono is all I need and a decent speaker so you can hear the sound clearly. I don't expect to do this tomorrow and will start with the simple Sparki and move onto other simple kits before I attempt to do anything more creative. Thanks for your patience, I am a noob and any kits you recommend I'll definitely try. Also anything to improve my coding skills which is none right now but if theres books or college courses I'm in for the long haul.
