Make your own Android-controlled robot
June 02, 2025
Ever wanted to learn how to build and program a robot, but you didn’t really know where to start? One inventive subscription service wants to take all the hassle out of this process and have you designing and building your own robots as soon as possible. It’s calledThimble, and it’s trying to become a one-stop-shop for persons of any age looking to become more tech-savvy and inventive.
To those familiar withBlue Apron, a subscription service that delivers ingredients and recipes to your doorstep to ease the less kitchen-inclined of us into the culinary arts, the concept of Thimble will seem familiar. The company delivers kits to build and program a variety of electronic devices ranging from robots to quadcopters.
Everything you need comes in an orange box delivered straight to your door, as well as a set of tutorials and instructions that you’ll need to make this month’s gadget a reality. That’s right: you’ll get a new project every single month.
TheKickstarterfor Thimble, which still has 17 days to go, originally only asked for a humble $25,000 to put their idea into motion. Interest in a service like this seems pretty high, seeing as so far the team has crowdsourced nearly 10 times what they were asking for (the current pledged amount as of writing is $232,455)!
