Im looking around on the internet, for a good beginners robot body to get started with. I dont care if its weak, and doesnt have cameras, as long as it has positional encoders on the servos, I can put a couple of wifi cameras on it for stereo vision and do it asynch/separately. (I can just screen grab the windows desktop to get the images.)
Or, do I need a kit? its a simple job, if I bought the ardunio and servos separately, all I need to do is send the signals to the motors, and get the positional feedback back to the arduino, to send down the usb to the computer with the gtx980 on it for the processing.
Is that so easy that - im having trouble finding a robot cause no-one even buys them, they just do the job themselves?
(sorry i forget to mention, im looking for a legged robot, a wheeled robot is no good... and thats what they all are.)

Oops nah its just a frame, no micro, no motor controller, no servos. i see now.
the full thing of even the ozzie one is $209 total, including the arduino and motor controller.
