First, you need to have good amount of patience to ace in Robotics.
1) Be good at any one programming language to have a good grip over code.
2) Learn RaspberryPi or Arduino for the proper understanding of electronics and logic.
1) Start by using an easy programming language that can help you understand how robots work. A good place to start is [Lego Mindstorms](https://www.lego.com/en-us/mindstorms) where you can use a basic representation of programming to make your robot do things. If you don't want to buy [Lego Mindstorms](https://www.lego.com/en-us/mindstorms), that's okay! However, it does help understand the basics of robotics, which will help you better understand the advanced machines you'll work with in the future.
2) Be good at any one programming language to have a good grip over code.
3) Learn RaspberryPi or Arduino for the proper understanding of electronics and logic.
Now the difference between RaspberryPi and Arduino is:
RaspberryPi is a SBC(Single-Board-Computer) whereas Arduino is only a Microcontroller.
So the difference between the above stuff is quite important.
3) Inverse Kinematics is very important for the designing part.
4) Inverse Kinematics is very important for the designing part.
Here is a good resource to learn [Inverse kinematics](https://www.intechopen.com/books/industrial_robotics_theory_modelling_and_control/robot_kinematics__forward_and_inverse_kinematics).
Putting together, these resources are good enough to kick start your journey with Robotics!
