AlmightyArjen Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone! Just saw this "introduce yourself topic" so here I am. I'm lurking around for a few months now and so now and then I post my own creations. I discovered that this is a really cool forum with loads of people who are even more enthousiastic about Lego than I am. For me, it all started in 1985 when I got the 7727 train for my birthday. I had never been so happy! Since then I got some more Lego sets and when I grew older I switched to Technic and bought the classic 8868 and the 8880 for myself. Now I combine Lego with electronics: I'm building all kinds of robots and recently I've built a huge automated train track (see my posts). I don't use the NXT platform; it's quite expensive and I like to develop all the electronics myself. Since a few months I'm building a robot that's going to fetch me a beer from the fridge but there are some obstacles to take. I'll open a topic about that soon. Cheers and let's build cool things!

MikroMan Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Hi there, I'm also a regular robot builder and I agree that NXT components are way too expensive, so for any ''interesting'' projects, it's best if you build your own circuit. Are you doing it with Arduino? Quote
AlmightyArjen Posted June 10, 2013 Author Posted June 10, 2013 Yes, I use Arduino: it's a great platform with loads of libraries available. And since I'm a bit lazy: ideal... :) Quote
MikroMan Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 I've always wanted to get into Arduino, and I hope I'll have some time this summer to start trying it out Quote
