to mark as completed Robot #0
This is my first blog entry. My first experience with robotics was helping build a Heathkit Hero 1 back in 1982. Now, I am ready for my second experience!
I've been gathering data for the past few weeks and decided to take the plunge. I just got a Parallax Boe-Bot (rev.D) kit. It was fun putting it together and getting the hang of programming and I/O. I figure the BOE will keep me entertained for a month or more. As this is my first solo experience, my BOE-Bot is being numbered Robot #0. When I get a chance, I'll post a few pictures of this mischevious little scamp that terrorizes my dogs.
After the BASIC Stamp on the BOE, I want to play with the Arduino so Robot #1 will (hopefully) be based on the DAGU Beginner's Robot Chassis and the DG_Arduino board. Might as well start out with the Beginners Robot Chassis Challenge.
After that, I think I'll play with PICAXEs. Might as well acquaint myself with three of what seem to be the most popular chips.
I look forward to learning from and contributing to this site as I advance my nefarious plot for Global Domination Through Tiny Cybernetics...Mwahahahahahaaaaaa!
