I started a robotics company, we develop small-scale robotics for different types of consumers.

I'll repost my comment that I made on tildes.net about a month ago:

You can get a lot of the basics down really quickly, low cost, and all you need is a PC, an Arduino, a breadboard, and a few servos! From there you can build a lot of very cool and interesting (and sometimes useful!) stuff!

I also like messing with vibration motors with mine, in fact I hate using LED's on them so I use that for Hello Worlds :)

I dislike tutorials (I'm a hacker at heart) but there are a lot (589) tutorials/projects on the Arduino Robotics project site, a few thousand on the hackaday.io site, or on Hackster.io with a few thousand more!

There has never been a better and more beautiful time to get into electronics or robotics! Keep in mind if an idea requires a 3D printer (and you don't have access to one), you can usually get by with some hot glue and craft sticks (tongue depressors), also have fun and find things around the house, I use a lot of random plastic containers to build shapes for fun DIY projects, and cardboard and duct tape is always fantastic. Don't let anything stop you from building and having fun with it!
