Hi,
I've just joined couple minutes ago, searching the net came accross the drummer bot and then this site. First, greetings to all the beautiful minds here :)
ok. here goes:
1. what is the difference between a geared servo, stepper motor and a plain servo like ones found in simple toys or cooling fans.
2. Can anybody recommend a book on electronics or robotics generally that will get the unitiated started?
I used to have an nxt kit, which is now lost, which I believe is the best toy ever but not as flexible when you have some wild ideas for a project. So any ideas and starters are much appreciated.
cheers,
and another thing, how do you control position. how would it be possible get feedback on the position of the servos at a given time?
