All stories begin somewhere. As all good monster creation stories, the story of this robot starts at night. An evil genius is plotting to dominate the world and is looking for an army. Suddenly the idea comes to his mind! Robots!

That, or some programmer that wanted to use his skills for something more physical.

I actually just checked on the internet to see if there was any information on how to build robots. I quickly came across the $50 robot. It is a very simple robot. It just searches the light. But since I had no experience and no endless supply of money (would be nice wouldn’t it?), I started basic. So I could see if this actually is something for me or not.

Thus, what kind of robot is it? The $50 robot from the Societey of Robots. A basic photovore robot. 2 light sensors, 2 servo motors and a programmable chip.
