What If You Built Robots Too?
summary
Concrete DIY robot projects are presented: a cardboard chew-toy using a 180° servo, a Bluetooth‑controlled wheeled robot built with a micro:bit and Motor:bit, and a six‑legged hexapod driven by an Arduino Nano IoT programmed in TinyGo. Parts lists, Thingiverse 3D files and GitHub code are provided, with cost examples (micro:bit ~€20, cheap servos ~€0.50 each, simple rolling robots under €40); demos were shown live and required minor wiring fixes.
