Getting Started with MakeARobot: Beginner Tips

Hi everyone,

I just found an interesting resource for beginners and wanted to ask if others have used makearobot for their first builds.

I’m new to robotics and would love practical tips on choosing starter kits, basic soldering guidance, and recommended microcontrollers for learning (Arduino vs. micro:bit).

Does the site include simple step-by-step build guides or video tutorials that helped you move from a kit to a working robot? Also curious about common first-project pitfalls and safe tools for beginners.

Real user experiences would help me pick the right path.

Thanks in advance.
