Try emailing "sales03@chinaflyfun.net" and ask for a "RoboGuts™ Lesson Kit" ... they can put together most of the components needed into one affordable package.
24 AWG Gauge Solid Hook Up Wire Kit 25 ft Each 0.0201" Dia UL1007 300 Volts
The WAV Trigger - WIG-13660 ~$50
The Tsunami Super WAV Trigger - WIG-13810 ~$80
Cost a little more but so much easier to connect with one simple hobby cable.
Buy bulk so you can make several different projects!
IF you want your bot to roam around like in some projects you need the continuous rotating servo motors ... so far the best place I've found is Pololu;
For most projects it is better to solder male headers on the bottom of all the holes to plug into a bread board and the four motor out male pin headers on top usually works best on the stepper motor driver boards so the motor wires can easily plug into the board.
Fire up the Phrase-A-Lator program and if you bought a $35 Phrase-A-Lator Development Kit begin building the phonemes and words for the project script changes.
The Phrase-A-Lator Development Kit is a very small 3D printed box you 3D print yourself, the tiny circuit board I sell, the USB cable you can buy online. Then connect the audio out to powered PC speakers ... I use really cheap GigaWare PC speakers ... they are perfect for the task.
eBay search:
6P FTDI USB TO TTL RS232 Cable F/Arduino 5v FT232RL USB to Serial adapter module
Cognitive brain development for young children is important!
That can talk and sing songs in any language!
Where can you get all the components, sensors, motors for the lessons? The same place I buy them ... mostly eBay saving $'s! Some places deliver slower than others, but I usually get parts within 30-days from eBay suppliers.
The cheap batches of components is a great starter for any RoboTeer;
These are great starter kits for the lessons saving you lots of $'s to get you started and you'll have parts for later experiments.

When you get to lesson 10 you will begin learning how to use phonemes to program speech and song into your projects. Why? Because these are two very important parts of cognitive brain development in young children!
The Phrase-A-Lator Development Kit connects to the PC via USB and to external powered PC speakers or your stereo so you can hear your phrase development before you copy/paste the code data into your project program.
