small kid robot

any circuit for making small kid robot for moving left/right up/down

buy him/her/yourself a kit that everything on it. i that kid is very young (ender 10) then buy him legi Invention system with RCX (lego robotix). www.legomindstorms.com

most robots are far to complicated for kids, cause they need high programming languaga (C or assembler) and this is like chinease to those litte brats.

lmao, well, ummm, yes. I'm currently working on a new game, based on the card game Weed!

A small kid robot, eh? Is that a robot for a small kid to play with or a robot that resembles a small kid? :lol:

Why not just get them a remote control car?

my 10 year old (at the time) had a lot of fun with the minisumo MkIII from http://www.junun.org/MarkIII/Store.jsp $92 for a complete robot kit is a bargain. It even comes with a copy BASIC though the free C compilers can be used as well. the controller is prettypowerful and the PIC comes with a bootloader burned in so no programmer is required.

You will need to help the kid out with assembly and programming. The servos need to mod'd for continuous rotation but it's pretty simple and there is a ton of documentation on the web. there is even a yahoo group dedicated to it.

I took my kids to a minisumo contest and they got totally jazzed over it so their interest really carried forward.
