Hi all,

Thanks for accepting me in to this forum. I am completely new to this, never having built a robot before. For my first attempt I'll be building a kit robot that my good wife has purchased for me for Christmas 2022. I'll have to wait a while till then but will keep researching as I know I'll be wanting to make a "more advanced" one in the future. 😉

Welcome to the forum.

What was the kit? My good wife bought me a vacuum cleaning robot last xmas because I always told her my robot will be able to clean the house if I ever finish it. Kind of missed the point of me wanting to build one in the first place because it was for me a fun project which was going to do more than vacuum and mop the tiles.

I have been working on an "advanced" robot for a long time 🙂

@robotbuilder know what you mean about building the robot. Hope you one day finally get to produce your Advanced robot, think of all the fun you'll have 👌. The wife has got me an Elegoo smart robot car kit V4. 0. Christmas will soon be on us so I haven't got too long to wait to build mine.

@redtara You might want to search the forum for the difficulties others have had with that kit. The most relevant will likely be the latest depending on when you got the kit.

First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.
Hardware - Expert in 1401, and 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's and MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
Sure you can learn to be a programmer, it will take the same amount of time for me to learn to be a Doctor.
