Post by: robot350 on September 15, 2008, 02:54:35 PM

I was just wondering if some experts on here could give me some tips, you know, certain tools that could help with building robots.I always wanted to build robots so I found this website read the tutorial and was looking things up on the internet. But, Maybe there's something I dont know that you could tell me. I would appreciate that thanks. ;D

My #1 tool is CAD software. I think its *the* most important skill any robot builder can have.

Then the other basics like soldering iron, screw driver, etc :P

Lots more on robot tool advice (http://www.societyofrobots.com/robotforum/index.php?action=search2;params=YWR2YW5jZWR8J3wwfCJ8YnJkfCd8NXwifHNob3dfY29tcGxldGV8J3x8InxzdWJqZWN0X29ubHl8J3x8Inxzb3J0fCd8cmVsZXZhbmNlfCJ8c29ydF9kaXJ8J3xkZXNjfCJ8c2VhcmNofCd8dG9vbA==)

I agree with the others but would like to add probably the most important tool known to man:
MOTIVATION!

There are plenty of VERY competent people on this site and they all love to help, so what you don't know you can learn!
Happy constructing!
