Been googling and ebaying all morning but just thought I would ask on here, where do you guys pick up your servos, servo cables etc. from in the UK? Is it just a case of hitting ebay or are there...

Extended Range Communication

I see that wifi and xbee are popular options. From reading on the forums, some people seem to have trouble getting wifi to work. I need my robot to stay in communication around my quarter acre yard.
