"Robot" comes from a Czech word meaning "forced labor." FYI

Surprised noone into robots. A car is a robot

why not just make a single thread for all these, and ask:

"is anyone into future tech, or other cool geeky shit?"

seems pretty well encompassing all these things.




btw, yes. i'm into all this nifty shit.

If you want to get into doing work yourself pick an arduino up and a cheap Rc car and you easily start building your own robot.

I do quite a lot of micro controller programming as a hobby. Mainly 3d printers and automotive stuff, but some robotics as well. I made a roomba clone once lol.
