Building the OAR

Those of you who know me know that I've built a few robots, all with very limited success. Now, I will try t follow a tutorial for once. Letsmakerobots.com has a great beginners' robot, so I'll be following that. Unfortunately, the parts list is from UK suppliers, so I spent a few hours tracking down the same parts, in U.S. sites.

Here's what I came up with:
