I want to build 4 (not at the same time)
1)A Solarengine
2)A Photovore
3)A walker
4)A aquabot, very useful in Oregon 8-p
I'm taking it really slooooww!!
But hey I'm having fun with this.
I hope to have one or two done so my daughter can take them to school to
show off.
I've downloaded megs of tutorials and FAQ's, I just need to get the parts
for the first one and have a go at it.
There is a great electronics store near my are that I have used in the past
for PC needs that also deals in electronic parts.
I also have a few friends who work for local high tech firms who are willing
to help out.
