Well the first thing I remember taking apart was also my first robot.
I did manage to get it back together and it still worked. I was 5 or so maybe. I was mostly interested in cars when growing up. Took a lot of shop classes in high school. Had basic electronics then too. My first TV was one I got that didn't work. I played around with that for a while then my neighbor threw away one and it had the same chassis. "Parts"!!my hobbies I built a house on my vacation from work LOL 1236sqft. I also built myself a little shop too. 2600sqft.
my dad was a hospital engineer until 79 when he retired i did work as a carpenter for few years made large addition to another house i had for my playroom with jucuzzi my hobbies are baking alot,and travel ,been to jamaica 50 times,china 4 times,and all over france twice ,plus london 5 times,plus alot states in us,and other countries ,also collect movies,dvd over 700 movies and counting,robots i have mmmm may be 40 at work i do welding,plastic,and machine work,ART OR PAINTING not great at
Wow 79 ! that's cool ! I'll bet your dad was twice at good as the younger engineers! I think I like playing with metal probably more that anything.
he was named man of the year and was in the news 5 years ago when he retired was very close to 80 ,38 years working at the biggest hospital in florida
