Hi....

I am currently taking my first robotic course, and new to this newsgroup,
so please forgive my ignorance. The information that I need may have been
posted. If you have it, please kindly e-mail me or repost.

I plan to build a simple-to-build but programmable robotic arm (please re-
commend me other kind if this is too difficult for a beginner). I don't
know much about electronics, and as in this stage, I am more interested in
programming a robot. So some kind of robot kit is preferable. I also have 
a 286-compatible computer lying around. I want to use it as the controller, 
please enlighten me about its feasibility, ease of use, and cost 
(cost of A/D board or interface board), because I read from this newsgroup 
about using Commodore 64 as a start.

Last year, I saw a flyer about 6-freedom robotic arm from an electronic 
store. I am sorry I don't remember much about it. But if you know it, or
have it, let me know your impression about it.

Please respond via e-mail. I will summarize to the net.

Thank you!

Leo.
