I'd like to find out more about "consumer robots". I recently saw an electronics catalog that had three different "robots". One would move until it bumped into something and then would go off in a different direction. Another would change direction when you whistle. The third would follow black lines on white pieces of paper. I'd appreciate any information I could get about this subject. (Magazines, catalogs, equipment sources, etc). What's the best place to get equipment to play around with these things? Through Heathkit? How much will a good "starter system" cost? Thanks for any information you can provide!
