      Some robotics systems can be very expensive, but the parts for a basic robot aren’t too costly now. If you look on Amazon for an Arduino-based robotics kit, you can find quite a few options there in the 50-100 euro range. If you know what you’re doing you can build one for less than that, especially if you’re not afraid to scavenge materials from other things and recycle parts. However, if you’re just learning about it for the first time then a kit with some clear instructions is probably worth the investment.
