I'm thinking of robot arms up to more complete systems that might be assembled over a period of weeks and serve to introduce one or two younsters to the engineering issues before they enjoy the fruits of their work. Do any worthwhile products exist out there and are there ones that might be in the price range of start-up computer system costs? Expereiences and references would be appreciated. -- Gary Berg-Cross.
