Multifunction arduino robot - beginer

Forget 200£.

200£ per axis is closer to the truth, if you want anything with decent accuracy, repeatability, and resolution.
And that is in materials costs, alone.

Anyone can make decent high-precision mechanicals, per axis, with any decent lathe.
But it is cheaper and easier to buy them, and they cost more than 100£/axis, and a lot more for really good ones.

Define your expected usage, payload, repeatability, speed, and resolution.

OP has never mentioned anything about needing high levels of accuracy strength or resolution. The requirements he has stated (simply a small remote control device able to translate, and have a pan/tilt, and drive a stepper motor or two...) are easily achievable in this budget. Think RC car budgets, not CNC.
