Hi, I just recently bought an axon 2 chip and I was wondering where i could buy parts to build something like a car. I was previously using the Arduino UNO and I can see that the axon 2 chip needs female connections vs the Arduino's male connections. I was planing on getting a battery, servos, a photo resistor, DC motors, and an accelerometer. or is there something that i need to get separately to modify the connections to support the axon 2. any advice? Thanks

You can always buy a cheap RC car and replace its receiver by Axon-II. You would also need something like H-bridge (which You can buy or build) to drive motors of the car.
or is there something that i need to get separately to modify the connections to support the axon 2.
All You need to change is the connector from male to female type. Make sure You place wires in right slots (to match pinout of Axon-II).

Batteries and servos already have female headers to connect to the Axon. Otherwise, here is a tutorial to add your own:
