General info

  • You can purchase things directly if you spend less than 100€ including taxes (obviously with authorization of your tutor). Give the receipt or invoice to your tutor to obtain refund!
  • If you need to spend more you need to refer to your tutor to start a different procedure ("Buono d'Ordine").

Robot bases and components

  • Robot Domestici Italian site. Some good prices, some very high.
  • Robot Italy Italian site. A lot of stuff
  • Emmeshop Italian site. A lot of stuff.
  • Robotshop Really a lot of stuff. Check to be on the EU site
  • Hobby King A lot of stuff, mostly model-oriented. Check to be on the EU Warehouse.
  • Jonathan Italian site. Model oriented.
  • Maxon The best (and most expensive) motors

Electronics devices

  • RS - You can shop on-line or buy direct from the RS shop located in via W. Tobagi, 19 - Vimodrone (near the "Cascina Burrona" stop of MM2). Important! If you buy directly at the RS shop, you absolutely must request that the name on the invoice ("fattura") is: Politecnico di Milano - Dipartimento di Elettronica e Informazione - via Ponzio 34/5 - 20133 Milano and that the invoice is marked as paid (RS uses a strange paper-piercing tool to do the mark). If you ask for these two things, you get a 10% discount; if you don't, you don't get the discount and, above all, you cannot obtain a refund from your tutor!
