I'm reading this and kind of stuck on the 4th. I have a printer though not much of 3D designer. How do one get 3D models for parts that is suitable with SparkFun electronics?

For electronics, all you really need to get started is an Arduino, 3 hobby servos, and a breadboard and wires. The first robot I sold was basically just that. And the physical parts were Lego-Technic compatible laser-cut (later 3D printed) beams. (https://bitbeam.org/, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11747)

Start making your own "lego" then go from there. This idea can get you pretty far --> https://bitbeam.cc/en/

This was basis of the robotics company (Tapster) that I started and have been running for over 10 years now: https://www.flickr.com/photos/68386867@N05/7855484076/
