BIG LIST OF ROBOT SHOPS

This page serves to categorize every robot store that I have come across in my travels across the world wide web. If the link has a smiley face next to it, that means I have purchased from them in the past. I'm not responsible for what they get up to, but I wanted to drop this on the wiki as a resource.

Combat focused shops are those that cater primarily to the robot combat crowd, often selling pre made weapons, and often kit robots (I've fought three kits from Battle Robot Kit with Blastwave!). These are great places to find gearmotors, speed controllers, and other components.

General robot gear is where you can find servos, microcontrollers, LIDAR, and more. Sometimes these shops cater to VRC, FRC, Or FTC competitions, but their gear is generally applicable to other projects as well.
