Does anybody here build robots? I mean things like Lego Mindstorms, or more complicated stuff with little development boards and sensors and motors and stuff?
I've been working with Mindstorms (v2, not the newer v3) but have been looking at all these cool ads in Robot and Servo magazines. I don't wanna jump in and just start buying stuff without knowing what one can do.
Would I get a dev board with I2C and just load up on I2C sensors and motor modules? Is that the current state of the art in home robotics?
Also, I would prefer these things, because I want to migrate some of my work on Legos:
1. Wireless communication with my PC and the ability to transfer data back and forth programmatically. I want to be able to control the hardware via the PC.
I built such a method on Legos, to send sensor data back and then send motor commands back to the device. It was plenty quick.
2. Have a C-like language available to program the device itself.
3. Sample C source code, or a simple code framework, that runs on that particular board, and knows how to exercise some devices, I2C or otherwise, including the wireless communications.
