Hello MrKnight, I apologize for the delay in seeing this message. We have already spoken on Discord and are resolving the issues with the AliExpress links.
In any case, since the question of whether this project is recommended for someone without previous experience in robotics and electronics comes up often, I will respond here as well, in case it helps other users.
It makes a lot of sense to ask it, since embarking on a project like this requires investing a lot of time and some money.
I would say that it depends a little on what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for a precise robotic arm to do ‘real’ tasks, I would say that there are better options if you can invest more money.
In my opinion, this project strikes a balance between ease of construction, a low budget, and decent robot capabilities (and a community that can answer questions).As for whether it is possible to complete the project as a beginner, my answer is that if you are enthusiastic and willing to learn, then yes, without a doubt.
There is documentation on how to carry out the project and we can help you and answer questions, but there will probably be times when you have to learn new things to build the robot and that will depend entirely on you.That said, I will tell you the same thing I tell everyone else. It is a long project to complete, probably taking months. You will learn a lot along the way that will surely be useful for other projects, and the result will certainly not disappoint you. Think it over carefully, and if you are sure, go for it! 🔥
