The point of these pages is to show that you don't need to spend a ton of money to get a mobile platform to build your toy robot on. Most of these toys are under $30.00 (U.S.) Why spend hundreds of dollars or more than a few hours to build a platform for your robot when literally hundreds of pre-existing platforms exist allready for your use?

Warning, if you have small children, you may need to buy two of each toy to convert so that your kids have one to play with also! ("But Daddy, don't take it apart, it still works", as my son said...)

Most of the following are dead hosts, unfortunately.

However, some of them are in the Internet archive

In the future, when I find an interesting page, I'm just going to mirror it here.
