Support kit for many of the parts for the $50 SoR project
The Society of Robots has a great beginner robot tutorial called the
"Step-by-Step Robot Tutorial under $50". "Ever wanted to build your own robot but didn't know where to start?
Here is your chance! I will outline step by step exactly what to do to build a robot for under $50." The robot
tutorial guides the first-time builder through construction of a low-cost robot. The tutorial describes the
electrical and mechanical systems of this low-cost robot.
The CGSORKIT1 contains the electronic parts for the $50 robot (except for the servos) all collected in an
easy-to-purchase pack. No more wondering if the parts that you selected are right for the $50 Society of Robots
tutorial. There are several benefits to buying this kit. First, you save some money over getting the parts all by
themselves. Second, this kit contains more than the bare minimum for the $50 robot tutorial - wire, solder, LEDs,
extra resistors. Third, the CdS cells are matched to each other - no guessing which ones are the same in the
surplus set from Radio Shack.
Fourth, the ATmega8 AVR microcontgroller comes programmed with the Arduino bootloader, if you
choose to develop with that environment. And, even if you don't, having that bootloader in the chip helps with
debugging as the bootloader will blink PB.5 on power-up.

Except for the servos, this kit contains more parts than the listed "Required electrical parts" for the $50 robot, at a reduced cost.
