Summary

You've now learned how to choose the parts for a robot, and some of the reasoning and design decisions that have gone into this one. You've seen how to use a simple tool to test fit these parts and see what will work before buying anything. You've then bought the parts, and built your starting robot platform.

In the next chapter, we will fit the motor controller, then start writing the code to get this platform moving.
