1st Timer Robotics Advice!

Hi there everyone!
I am hoping that people on this forum would be able to offer advice from
their own experience for a fist time buyer (me + other new readers)

I am pretty sure that I will be buying a Bioloid kit, as this suits my as-yet
uncertain direction in robotics.
I would still like to hear from those who have bought OTHER bots and why!

I am curious about remote control, using sensors, grippers and all this sort
of stuff as expansion to the basic unit.

So anyway, PLEASE first state your bot/s model and maker
Good points/bad points/modifications/single pic of your Bot

-<AND>-

Please let me know what you think on these subjects:
-Is it better buying ADD-ONS with 1st purchase or later?
-New or Used?
-home made cb vs pre-fab pcb
-hacks for the various controller boards
-aftermarket parts/add ons/weapons?
-any other advice you can give from your experience with bots!


Thanks ahead for your input and involvement in this Topic!

Easy answer to your query mate.
