This "JunkBot" kit includes everything you need to build and programme your own robot ... except for the chassis and wheels (unless you’ve opted for our junkBot deluxe kit which does include the wheels!).

Following the best tradition of “junkBotics”,  junk ‘bots are built from the bits of junk you have laying around; because of this, every junk ‘bot is unique and has its own character - see you always knew that junk would come in useful one day!

PC advisor recently created a step-by-step "how to" robotics article based arround this kit. In this article the author builds this kit and discusses the software required, how to install it and gives some example code. The article can be found at: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/gadget/3321633/how-build-program-robot/
