Robot Kits with Soldering

The robot kits in this section require soldering. Because they are not designed specifically as soldering tutorials, these might not make a best first soldering project. However, if you have some soldering experience (or if someone with soldering experience can help you), these kits should be straightfoward to assemble. You’ll need to supply your own soldering equipment and solder; one place to start is the learn to solder kit.
