Looking to make a poost for this for a long time and you dont have to tell if you dont want too
ROBOTMAKER i started at age 5 makig a cardboard box robot.then i fix my very first radio at age 7
now on robots building ,i guess i started after i got out of college using a 6800 processor from a kit i bought,i still have the box with board and DOS software,i forgot the name i think machine basic ,super slow and only had a speaker and round based robot with 5 decks i still use it for my sensor testing
Then i started working at a big A/C company first in RD dept then latter on my own in-house tester design lab ,where i learned about sensor tesing.
Then i bought another robot look great using another processor,forgot the type and with help of the one of the guys in the programming dept he help me made the software.
then a made one using a Z80 and next years i was using boe-bot by parallax and then join a AI robot building forum
(sorry DJ said i cant poost info on it) i think some ideas came from it like the joke script witch is a great add -on to EZB
I also made many many different designs of a home base finder and autocharge
i think i made over 20 robots (cant also post photos unless using ezb)
then my favorate board EZBN with i have about 77 robots and counting and more then half to hack well thats my story
WOW great like me too,also i love BELGIUM great place and nice people
PARIS not nice to us in USA,but still loved it
When I was nine years manufactures several cardboard robots with lights and a remote control car that cable to walk, so if a nice metallic finish gave him. At 20 he manufactures a small metallic robot dodging objects with a ping sensor and relays and analog technology. (No microcontroller) At age 23 I started with RC model aircraft, cars and boats rc (definitely a big help to address the most serious robotics) At 32 I met EZ-B and I met a bunch of servos per house and many other things usable rc, now that I have 34 years I am delighted we can hecer in robotics, and what we see in the future it will be amazing!
WOW very cool,where is spain do you live,i been there
Waw R2D2 you're truly amazing ! The right spirit ! I like it.

Hey Robotmaker, my friend,
My first robot was about age 9 or ten I think. I did not even know i liked robotics...but i made a Halloween costume ...two cardboard boxes (one for the body, one for the head) stacked on top of each other.
I had a simple switch inside that i could press to make the 'nose' (a simple light bulb) light up....I had a speaker for the mouth....that played Star Wars over a cassette tape recorder.
Those were the days!

Wow cool,mine was a little like that,i added arms out of cardboard ,found a pair of gloves for my hands and my feet both and legs had cardboard. Didnt have a camera at that time only very old camera my dad had, long camera too a few buttons just to get the photo out b&w
Also no switch or recorder.
