What is a simple way to start with robotics?
The Seattle Robotics Society put together something call the Workshop Robot. Workshop Robot. According to Dave Hylands, this is a really nice robot to start with. It uses the ATMega16/32; a simpler version of the ATMega128 used with the robostix. By using a small amount of external circuitry, a designer can add a huge number of sensors (as gumstix does with the expansion board). “Where the gumstix starts to become advantageous is when you start using algorithims which require alot more memory than is available on the ATMega processors”.
