Title: Planning for a low cost telecommuting robot
Post by: Teknicalissue on October 04, 2014, 10:00:57 PM
Hey guys!

I'm on a mission to create a low cost robot that is controlled via laptop. So far I've created one for $990 and was wondering if you guys had any ideas on where to find parts like the base and DC motors for a cheaper price than what I paid for it which was $200.

I've uploaded a video of my robot on my blog here: http://thecodingpatch.blogspot.com/2014/10/as-promised.html?m=1 (http://thecodingpatch.blogspot.com/2014/10/as-promised.html?m=1)

The servo linear actuator I purchased for the neck extension was $300 and I think I may be able to find one for a much better price.

What do you guys think?
