We've been getting requests for the parts bundles as mentioned in Gareth Branwyn's book 'Absolute Beginner's Guide to Building Robots'. We're sorry to say that we don't have them ready yet (major website development takes up staff man-hours), so please bear with us - we're working towards having something together.
