A short list of websites that I have found useful in designing and building robots...
Acroname Great source for all sorts of controllers, sensors, wheels and displays. Supplier of the OOPic & the Devantech SRF04 used on Ziggy amongst other things.
RobotBooks.com is an excellent resource for books, toys and kits provided by Carlo Bertocchini of Biohazard fame...
Robot Store Lots of kits, toys, bits and bobs for robot building.
OOPic Simply the best controller for your robot; many built-in objects for controlling a variety of hardware.
Servo City Best prices on Hitec servos on the web, and fantastically friendly customer service!
Grizzly Industrial Inexpensive, decent quality machine tools - I built Ziggy with their Mini-Mill, about $500. Click here for step-by-step setup and adjustment for the Mini-Mill.
Thomas Distributing Great prices and selection on NiMH batteries and chargers.
McMaster-Carr Everything else you might need for your bot from fasteners to materials to tools to ANYTHING!
