ROBOT

Definition of Robot:

A Simplified Definition

The simplest definition of a robot could be "a mechanism which moves and reacts to its environment", and there are many robot starter kits which use this definition in some form. The simplest of these I have seen is a fact file type book with a tray of electric and simple mechanical components together with an envelope of card board press out parts and stencils allowing the construction of a variety of wheeled and legged mechanisms which are crudely able to interact with the environment.
Although the build quality is questionable this and other such kits give a good feel for the spirit of the robot concept.
