computer numerical controlled.
Basically it's a drill, a milling machine or a lathe... controlled by a computer.

Seriously, your first robot, 12 years old, little money, you don't need "professional". Heck, use duct tape, you aren't going to be selling these things. You won't get far into robotics if you are always searching for professional ways to do everything. Don't waste crimps on some 50-cent photoresistors, don't wast $10 on servo mounts.

Its just ive like gone into detail about using nuts and bolts and screws and drills for everything else, and from the image i imagine it will look pretty proffesional, so i just wanted to continue making it look good.

I wanna show to my form tutor in class too(once ive added the IR thingy that makes it follow objects) so i wanna show off to him which means it will need to look good (he's not eaisly impressed).

Thanks

Joe

I got some servo mounts there, all nuts and bolts and cheap ($4 for two nice servo mounts).
