Title: so did you do robotics before you got here?
Post by: jamort on June 19, 2009, 12:30:11 AM

ok so this is somewhat off topic... forgive me
I thought it would be interesting to find out with in the community here who was doing robotics before they got here and who started after the read the tutorials on here....

for me i learned from here... well technically i did take electronics in school

Played with Lego robots in comp. Eng. class last semester for about 1.5 months, it dawned upon me then that there must be more to life than Lego robots.  I googled "How to build a robot" and found this site.  I explored the site, found "step-by-step robot tutorial", read it, fell in love and got to work.  ;D 

p.s. - I wish my school had an electronics course...the only electronics lessons i had were super simple circuits in gr. 9 science and playing with gates (OR, NOR, NAND etc.) in comp. eng.
