Here’s a basic list of nearly all the parts/components in/on the finished robot. I bought
most of this from Sparkfun, Jameco, or RadioShack so I’ll reference my links to their
specific products, although most of these parts could be purchased elsewhere and
probably for cheaper. Some of this stuff I didn’t buy (already had most of the
equipment), but I’m also including a link in case someone wants to buy one.
I’ll try to include pretty much everything I used in the process of making this robot. Pretty
long list.
