This is great, but it can also be off putting for beginners who might feel unable to get started.

Probably based on a shrimp kit, using steppers or dc geared motors and a CD for a base.
To keep it accessible we won’t be using any PCBs or anything laser cut.
It will draw with a pen and maybe communicate with other robots. Here’s a video of what we’ve got so far: https://plus.google.com/
