Hi,
I am new to robots but have a good background in engineering, computers and electrical/electronics including radio control. I am looking to move over to Canada with my wife (she has dual nationality with uk/Canada) and this might be a perfect opportunity. Would my limited robot experience be an issue? I have always been into this environment and I believe this could ideal.
Many thanks
Keith

Xan: You would certainly be the perfect man for a job like this. :wink:

Btw, I didn’t know you can talk/write French?

French would be a problem… Maybe I could trade it for Dutch and a bit of German? :wink:

@Mario: Sound’s interesting. I’ll stay tuned :slight_smile:

English is the more critical of the two languages. Additional languages are certainly beneficial.
