I know why I build robots. I like fabricating things and taking the satisfaction of taking humble bits (especially junk) and making them into something more. Something worth burying for a couple days (pls see the LiveShow #6 aftershow hehe). Completion of a project isn't even required, though. Proof of concept can be worth it by itself. And then I have something to canibalize afterwards.
How about you?
Me too, I like how what I’ve
Me too, I like how what I’ve created seems to be alive even though it’s made from dumb parts… I also feel very proud and happy when I build something that works reliably.
I think i get satisfaction
I think i get satisfaction in being able to understand something because i built it. We all enjoy explaining our projects and knowledge to others, hence the LMR community. I am most happy when i have a nice “finished product” and i can explain the wiring, programming, circuits, and overall build to any one interested. Its not a competition here, but i think we all strive to build things that have not been done before, or put our on flare on something old. I find that i think a whole lot different now then i did before i started building robots.
Yeahhh…
To quote McCabe-san:
"…enjoy explaining our projects and knowledge to others, hence the LMR community…"
If it wasn’t for this site my robots might have taken another year to get to their current stages of development. I never really thought of the goodness of having like-minds in reach. Well said.
