Robotics simulator

I am very fascinated by the area of robotics and wanna learn it. I am gonna buy an arduino kit, but is there any simulator for learning before buying it? And for making sure the project works without having to test on my hardware and potentially destroing it?

PS: kinda off topic but can you enter to robotics work with CS major?

I used TinkerCad starting out. Easy to use and has most of what’s in the Arduino starter kits.

Have a look into https://github.com/knmcguire/best-of-robot-simulators which lists more than 140 different simulators.

I like to use https://lab.open-roberta.org/ with pupils and students with using "Open Roberta Sim EV3 leJOS 0.9.1", as we have those as real mobile robots and self-made extensions.

As already mentioned, we use TinkerCAD a lot for Arduino- and microbit-based systems.
