I just learned a little in my electronics class about logical gaies, and sensors. I got to thinking about how I could use this info, and it hit me ROBOTS. Than i searched the web and was dissapointed that it was going to cost me $$$, then I found out about BEAM. blah-blah-blah. So now I'm here wandering what i'm going to buy at radio shack tomorrow. So can any one tell me what kinds of stuff I'm going to need to build a walker?
