Which kit now?

Mohammad

Hello everyone:

I've done a boe-bot and that was really fun, now I want to take a one-step up should I skip the sumo-bot and go to the toddler or go ahead and do the sumo-bot?

Thanks in advance,
Mohammad

sumo bot is more focused on enhancing your programming skills.. the issue with the sumo-bot is that you need someone else to play with... If you have a friend that has one, i think it could be a blast! If not, I would go with the Toddler next...

Well I'm a good programmer, but I saw some mechs. that I didn't notice in there, + my Dad (im 13) is a programmer so he could program the other one. Also why would I get a crawler over a tank track,stepers, etc.

Sounds like a perfect "father - son" bonding opportunity! Given your situation, I would absolutely go with the Sumo!

The Crawler kit for the Boe-Bot and the Tread kit for the Boe-Bot just offer different types of locomotion than wheels...
