How to make a robot

Welcome :)
Everything here is so easy, that after you have gone through it, you can make a robot in a couple of hours. Why can't you do that now?
Because there are so many little things you need to know. This is an attempt to let you know exactly all these little things, and nothing more. Fast, and based on 2 years of experience of what people need to know to get started. If you hurry, you can run through this, and be robot builder in a couple of hours. But expect to use a good weekend - Learning takes time - even though it is very easy, it just takes some time, all the little things to get to know :)
There are other "How to get started building robots" out there. This one is focusing on getting you around everything extremely fast. You need no knowledge of ... anything. And you will learn everything... well, the basics of everything ;)

Materials needed

It used to be a hassle to buy the materials, because not one single webshop was carrying everything needed, and you had to buy from several shops.
Good news is that LMR have started a cooperation with Solarbotics, one click get's you all the parts:

You can get everything needed for the project here, in "The LMR Bundle"

- And if you buy it there, you even support us, so we can keep hosting letsmakerobots.com

Everything you need can also be found in webshops, and via Google, if you do not want to buy the LMR bundle. And as it is sold in webshops, you can get it where you are, in any country.

Smart phones faster dumb habits among the pedestrians

NEW YORK (AP) - It was a miserable morning in New York, rain falling heavily and a 30 mph (48 kph) wind that made holding an umbrella difficult. Yet a man walked briskly up Fifth Avenue, balancing his umbrella and dodging pedestrians as he texted from his smart phone.
As a sheer physical act, it was almost Olympian in the strength, dexterity and concentration required. .
It was also completely ridiculous.
It was RAINING. And cold. The man was, let us presume, minutes from some destination. At any moment, he could spear a fellow pedestrian with his umbrella because he was only marginally paying attention to where he was going. What message could possibly be so important that it couldn't wait?
While smart phones and other electronic devices changed popular culture by offering an ability always to stay connected, they have so swiftly turned into such a compelling need that a simple walk down the street is considered wasted time.

The dates, times, venues and prices for more than 600 sessions of competition across all 26 Olympic sports will be emailed to the 2.2m people who have signed up for information ahead of tickets going on sale on 15 March.
London 2012 chairman Sebastian Coe described them as the "greatest tickets on earth for the greatest show on earth".
Double Olympic champion Coe said: "This is a really big moment, a huge moment.
"In my own experience as a competitor this is the point that it suddenly becomes very real.
"I remember this point in the build-up to Los Angeles, and suddenly realising I was going to be running seven races in nine days.
"We are now getting to the business end of the project and we know from the number of people who have signed up for ticket information that there is a real hunger from all parts of the country to be there."
After the women's football group games on Wednesday and Thursday, the opening ceremony of the games will take place inside the Olympic stadium at 1930 BST on Friday 27 July.

A Little Piece Of Heaven Lyrics – Avenged Sevenfold

Before the story begins, is it such a sin,
For me to take what’s mine, until the end of time?
We were more than friends, before the story ends,
And I will take what’s mine, create what
God would never design
Our love had been so strong for far too long,
