      I don’t actually make the robots, I am just programming them. But, when building a robot, there are different steps you need to consider: what do you want the robot to be used for, what sensors do you want the robot to have, how flexible to you want the robot to be, what type of robot you want (humanoid, industrial, wheelchair, car, etc.).

      After you answer all these questions, you will be able to go to the next step, which is building the skeleton of the robot. This involves choosing the motors and deciding where they go, and then choosing the material you want for building the actual robot. You will also need to decide id you want a mother board in the robot or it will be controlled by a computer.

      So there are loads of steps that you need to take in order to build a robot.
