How are we all?
Well this isn't my first post here, my first one was seeking guidence in the direction to take for a complete newbie to the world of robotics.
I'm 19 this month, and live in Brisbane (hmm, maybe I could steel Dingo's robots
, have done so since '99. Finished school at Brisbane Adventist College in 2004, and am currently completing a Cadetship in Civil Engineering. At the moment I'm a Cadet Civil Drafter for Maunsell.
Anyway, I don't have any experience in Electronics. Well that is a lie. Yesterday I figured out how to use a soldering iron for the first time and soldered things to a board (yes I told you I'm green!). Before last weekend I didn't even know what a soldering iron was! I'm working on my first robot at the moment, a Robot Kit actually. It's a Spider www.robotics.com.au/getpage.asp?PAGE=shop&cid=34&pid=316 from www.robotics.com.au which I have to solder together. Ohh big deal you say, lol - remember I had never even seen one before
So yesterday I was soldering and found it rather fun actually! Except I don't know what I'm doing and how I'm completing the circuit, but enjoying it never-the-less
Um, hobbies? I enjoy cricket, golf, squash, web design and graphics. I havn't had much experience in coding fancy languages such as C, however I do code in PHP, Actionscript and VB. I have experience in building things with timber/metal/plastic (from Highschool Tech classes.
What got me interested in robotics? Sony's QRIO Awesome little thing that was!
Anyway enough blab able me. Nice little forum you have here Dingo Cya later,
