Hello,

Sorry for my English, but I don't want to expose you to my German writing, since it is really bad...

I have recently ordered the RP6 robot from Conrad. After following the I-Qbot series for almost a year, I now want to start building my own robot.
I've compared a number of robotics kits, like the Boe-Bot, the Asuro, Lego Mindstorms NXT and the RP6.
I decided to go for the RP6, since it seems to be highly extensible, it not too expensive and is programmable in C (which I am familiar with).
One of my future goals with the RP6 is to transform it into a football robot that is able to automatically locate a ball and kick it into a goal.

But of course I will first start with the basics. I hope to learn a lot from you guys, I already read a lot of interesting stuff on this forum to get me going!

I am interested in suggestions for sensors that are suitable for the RP6. I am looking for good ultrasonic sensors and I am looking for a good and not too expensive camera.
Also I would like to know your suggestions for a good online robotics shop in Europe. I have found http://www.robotshop.ca which seems quite good, but this shop is in Canada, so the shippings costs are quite high.

Thanks a lot!
