I'm always looking for ways of making my projects cheaper... the PICaxe was an excellent step, I still use PICs from time to time (the PICkit 2 is great) but not so easy to explain in terms of programming...
It seem that there are a lot of expensive solutions out there to sensor problems but also some incredibly low cost versions hidden away. Similarly H-Bridge options, when you're trying to get the most out of your battery and maintain torque/speed.
At the moment I'm just not getting enough of it down on paper (or online more to the point).
Number One Tip, choose carefully and use as few suppliers as possible - lower postal prices can offset marginally higher delivery costs.
Close Running Tip, when getting started and looking for tools keep an eye on Aldi, Netto and Lidl you might find some good value.
Anyone got some good ideas or circuit pointers?

colin
