Next on the Horizon - Robot Choice!

I can't help but notice that there are innumerable options for building robots. As I look around the internet it occurs to me that there are parts and kits and ideas that pop up, giving me a headache just thinking about the options available. I think that what I will do is go for a robot type that I have always wanted to be able to build, a Spider Robot or SpiderBot for short. I think that this will be my goal. Not only will my grandson and I have to figure out how to make this robot walk, but we might even be able to give the robot some character. I think that I will name him Bob, just because that is typical of the walk of most SpiderBots. I am not sure that a spiderbot will be allowed to compete in the KIPR Open next year in Orange County, CA but I think that I have a reasonable choice made. I do reserve the right to change my mind as time and cost go along.
