I am based in the UK and have managed to track down the following list of suppliers.

I have succesfully ordered items from each of these suppliers in the past but their inclusion in the list doesn't hold me to any personal guarantee regarding quality of service. ie don't direct any moans to me!!

This is by no means an exhaustive list - and I may not cover all of the products they sell.

Suppliers: if you want me to remove you from, or add you to, the list or you feel I have mis-represented you then let me know. Please note this page may disappear eventually. So if you are interested in paid advertising then get in touch.

In purely alphabetical order:-

Active Robots

Motor controllers, sensors, wheels, motors, microcontrollers, platforms and chassis

Cornwall Model Boats

 All things nautical - plus R/C. Also good for servos.

Direct Plastics

 Source of "all things plastic" - so good for HDP which is great for easy chassis construction

Easy Devices

GPS modules/engines

Farnell

Large company - good for components

 All sorts of R/C stuff - mainly aircraft. Also good for servos.

Rapid

 Good for components

RoboSavvy

 Humanoid robot kits ($$$$). Website isn't too friendly and can break into Japanese sometimes. But if you persist then they are also a SparkFun distributor. So save on all that postage, delay andun-welcome demands for customs import duties when your order arrives!

 Sensors, Cameras, Motor/Servo Controllers, LCD displays, Servos

Technobots

 Components, sensors, Motor/Servo Controllers, Motors/Servos, Mechanical (bearings, pulleys, hubs etc)
