The otherside of the grass is always greener. I have a bioloid so maybe I only see the good points of kondo khr3 from vid. Love to play around with one but it will be costly to buy all the additionals.

noob needs help: kondo khr3 vs bioloid premium?

Actually, I'd argue that the Bioloid's plastic frame is more durable than the Kondo's aluminum one. Those brackets are unbelievable durable, I've never even dented one let alone bent/broken one.

Also, depending on where you live, the Bioloid Premium may end up being up to $1000 cheaper.

Hello I am new to the robot community and I wanted to get one. What I am looking for is a biped that can walk turn at the waist, bend at the waist. Easy to modify, good quality servos, not too tough of a learning curve, the ability to rc.

I just want to ability to for easy programming.

I was thinking of the kondo khr3 or the bioloid premium.

The goods;
Kondo:
Looks like a quality kit
Metal construction
Easy to mod
Can go from 17-22 dof stock
Ability to rc

Bioloid premium
Also looks like a quality kit
Servo’s look more robust
Comes with everything needed
English
Can be different bots

The bads:
Kondo:
Japanese
Don’t know about the servo’s
Product support
Bad boards (read that they fry easily)

Bioloid premium
Plastic construction
Doesn’t look as flexable

I just want something to tinker with. What do you guys think?
