I am a retired Master Machinist among many other things . Mentoring a group of enthusiastic young people at a local rural school as an after hours club exploring robotics and what they can dream up and what is practical for them to accomplish as They build up their knowledge base of control methods , sensor suites and various terrain applications . With what they can do and afford with their allowances and some of my own funds and skills to assist them in helping them realize their ideals into physical reality ! This experience for me is one of great pleasure in watching how they approach problems and solve them selves with very little input from me aside from fabricating the physical structural parts to modify the base kit they chose to found their dreams on ! Even the youngest member is way over my old head when it comes to the additional "Gadgetry" they are developing in teams each with it own goal . To that end and because they chose well in selection of the chassis from your company each team has their own "control plate " which drops into the chassis for testing , they are limited only by how many ports that have been cut through the body and they all agreed that those should be kept at a minimum . Every day i live with the truly intelligent Macaw you see in the avatar .He is No Pet ,he is his own person who goes and does what He wishes, learns what he wishes and is full free range and has schooled me on emergent intelligence Very well .I do not own him ,he choses to be with me !
