That depends on a few factors, including your budget and how much time you can put into learning about robotics. On the merits, though, I like ELSKY’s Spider Robot Kit. It stands out in a few different ways for beginners, starting with its plastic-focused construction. Many robotics kits feature thinner and more delicate parts, whereas this eight-legged option mainly uses pieces that are large and thick enough to hold up under an inexperienced touch. Despite the simplicity of its build, however, this robotics toy supports some flexibility with different assembly choices to change the stride length. Finally, this model doesn’t require any glue or advanced tools. I prefer complex kits for personal use, but for beginners, ELSKY’s kit is practical, affordable, and a great way to gain experience before buying something a little more complicated.
