Ask HN : Robot kits other than Mindstorms?
Looking for a programmable robot kit.
Cost is one concern : something under $600 preferable. Focus is on the "programmable" part.
Any suggestions?

I've been working wit the Basic Stamp (and other micros) for probably the last 12 years or so. To me, it's a good mix of powerful and easy to get up to speed on, so the initial learning curve isn't so steep as to be discouraging.
