Ay, Thanks Stewart! I really like the the hackaday.io site, I've been on the fence about adding my own projects to it. Now I have a good excuse :)

Do you have an account at Hackerspaces.io? Any keymembers who do should certainly be added as contributers to the
site. I added pictures and tools from the various web sites.On Fri, Dec 11, 2015 at 1:06 AM, Colten Jackson <jazzyjackson AT gmail.com> wrote:Blynk looks really interesting, especially if they support an Uno+ESP8266, that wouldn't be expensive at all, but their documentation is lacking.You could also combine TouchOSC iphone app would make it easy to build an interface that tells a raspberry pi what to do, and the pigpio library could let you control lots of servos, but I'm afraid I'm unhelpful in pointing you in the direction of a particular kit.I'd suggest looking at hackaday.io, there's a lot of fantastic hexapods and robot arms that would be a great robotics project, just a few laser cuts away:Just one for instance: https://hackaday.io/project/770-stubby-the-teaching-hexapodGood luck :)On Thu, Dec 10, 2015 at 9:35 PM, Mike Bohlmann <iammikeb AT gmail.com> wrote:Do you have a price point you're shooting for? For the interface, I have been thinking about a Blynk-powered control system with my Arduino Yun. Unfortunately, I need to get a motor driver shield before I can build it and other projects have my attention at the moment. Also unfortunately, that is NOT a cheap kit.MikeOn Thu, Dec 10, 2015 at 7:44 PM Charles Schultz <sacrophyte AT gmail.com> wrote:_______________________________________________Good evening,I am fishing around for programmable robotic kits. No soldering, arduino/RPi would be nice, interface with an iphone/ipod would be a huge plus. Hoping to hear back from those that actually have played with something you suggest. *grin* Target audience is an early teen learning how to program and a parent who wants to have lots of fun.--Charles Schultz
