The original restrictions for this project are that the robot should be;
-- Easy to assemble without the use of many tools.
-- Up-gradable and hack-able.
-- Based on an easy to program chip-set.
-- Fully constructed for under $50.
I have just sold the first batch of kits and should be making more soon.
The website is www.Hack-E-Bot.com
Right now I am looking to get educators involved to help turn the website into an educational portal for children interested in engineering and robotics.
