technorobot: the paper automaton
Sure, you could go spend hundreds of dollars on one of those fancy robot kits, or you could be a cheap bastard like me, and pick up one of these.
At just 12 bucks, you can’t expect much. The TechnoRobot kit is a do-it-yourself robot that’s made mostly out of cardboard and held together by scotch tape. A cheapie motor, some plastic gears and some rubber bands help the ‘bot to mosey along.
TechnoRobot certainly isn’t going to win any awards for looks, but it’s really meant as a way for kids to learn a little bit about the basics of robotics.

I remember my mom and I created our robot from shoe boxes, cardboard and spiral like wire(for hands). I painted robot at the end and that was the greatest experience from my childhood
I think, it’s fun to do everything by yourself, not buying any kits….
