Reply With QuoteI ordered the nerdkit today. For trying to learn this stuff, it was a good fit for me. I plan on trying all of these kits eventually, as they seem like a good value for the fun they can provide along with education.

Your post was relevant to using motors and control systems, besides it came with good news of Athena's progress to boot!

One thing I realized in playing with my NerdKit is that there is so much more to electronics than just putting things together. You really need to become an electrical/electronics engineer to really use the nerdkit.
I found myself wandering off to reading up on things way over my head and too much new stuff to absorb and retain.
The Arduino is more for us who want to use this technology without having to become engineers.
But since my end goal was to make a cnc to make robotics, the world has changed so much since my first post that now you can get robot kits and get right to the fun stuff without having to make everything by hand.
I don't mean the simple hex bug like robots but robots with motion, sensors and communications. Really no need to build a lab anymore if you want to get into this stuff.
Here are just a few.
