Once you have settled on a name for your robot, it's time to put it to use. There are tons of practical uses for robots, here are a few to get you started.

Webscraper

Web scrapers are useful tools that make Internet research much easier, quicker, and more accurate. It involves writing a little bit of code (little if you are using Python), specifying some target attributes, and a website.

Once you have defined your targets, your Web scraping robot will cull thousands of lines of data for you. Of course it's up to you to parse and make the data mean something but you will have saved hours of research time in the process.

Battling Robots

Battle Bots was a popular show I used to watch in my childhood. It was essentially a robot fight club with relatively small robots.

Two bots would fight it out in the ring until one of them succumbed to their injuries. Although this show, and robot fighting in general, is not that popular anymore, it is still fun to modify robots.

You can start by purchasing a standard RC car or robot from eBay. I would use eBay over Amazon because the former tend to have more variety when it comes to retro toys and remote-controlled devices.

Automatic Re-Tweeting

Granted, this is not the coolest thing a robot can do but it can be useful. The best part is that you don't need a ton a technical skills to create one.
