ADVANCED ELECTRONICS/ PROGRAMMING/ROBOTICS Robotics is an advanced topic that typically requires programming and more complex skills. The cost also climb quickly. Some basic building blocks are presented here. Lego MindStorm kits are also a possibility (I am not in favor of these -discussion). Cost Type Photo Comments ROBOTICS ADV R/C servo $10$20each Motor Typically need 2-3 per kit.
