    Hi gingerlyspicy,
    So if you are new to this, it'd be better if you just start with making an remote control car (basic in robotics).
    Just PM me or mail me at #-Link-Snipped-# if you need help in that....
    have a nice day! 😀

    start with a wired mechanical robot!
    use 4 motors(as wheels of the robot...just like a car) then attach them with 5 volts (or 12 volts) of supply, but place switches inbetween, to control the wheels(the locomotion of ur robot)...fix the body of the robot as u desire...and voila! u have done it!! 😉

    advice - use LOOOONG wires, only 2 switches are sufficient and don't make it look too complicated coz the mission here is to learn, not to confuse urself!

    in the later stages, u can add various mechanisms to ur bot (robot)...for instance if u wanna lift something, u can have the spoon mechanism, or the crane mechanism, etc.,

    have fun!

    Hello,

    If you are interested in robotics and don't know where to start.
    You should watch some videos and read tutorials/articles on the internet about the same.

    Nobody can spoon feed you about robotics.

    You can also start by attending a workshop in you locality.
    I heard iLabs (Check their website #-Link-Snipped-#) is a good institute in Nagpur.

    Do let us know what you are starting with as your first robotics project. All the best. 😉
