Hi
Well it depends on your expertise in reverse-engineering and general
robotics skills.
I suggest buying a book like Gordon's "Robot Builder's Bonanza", that
will answer many questions you may have.
As a first robot, maybe too ambitious. You could get frustrated. A
simple project is always easier to achieve and gives you a sense of
accomplishment in a reasonable amount of time.
I *definitely want to hack an N.S.E.C.T* for my third robot. It looks
really cool, with potential to terrorise pets, mothers, and step-fathers...
My current (2nd 'bot) is a hacked RC Jeep Rangler from Radio Shack/Dick
Smith. It cost me AUD $20 - reduced. The details of the project will be
posted as a complete project on my up-coming website geeksunleashed! It
will be well-documented, as it forms a report for a project at TAFE college.
I will have to be patient and finish this project first before the
exciting N.S.E.C.T.
Hope this helps
:-]
