As I wrote in my manifesto, the purpose of the project is use robotics to introduce people to technology. The reason it is "Choose your own Adventure" is that I would like have a path for people of any technical level or interest area to jump on and learn from. I am hoping to facilitate with ideas of where to start and links to how to purchase any hardware needed to get started.

I have been spending a lot time driving in the last week as I send my kids to college and I have been working through this path. Cya is important as it gives people something to build and understand the power of the technology that is available today. However, the most important part of this project is the definition of this path. Today I am going to start a working document in the form of something a budding roboticist may take up. I do not have all the tutorials, links, and hardware links complete yet but to flesh out the project, I think I need to start on this document.

My avatar is a person who has joined a maker space who wants to expand their skills. I want to allow them to follow their own technical interests and goals to be able to work on robotics in a way that suits their level and purpose. I also want to impart some of the core principles that are obvious once you become proficient in any of these areas but barriers of entry until you understand them.  In the end I hope to both create some enabling classes for our new maker space in West Dayton, but also leave a path that many people follow in exploring Cya.

As I am making this document, the first step is to describe how a person would recreate this project. There is the punch list of items to be prepared to support the tutorial.

- Single plate STL of all the parts ready to print.

-Quotes from Xometry and Hubs for the 3D printed parts.

-Load the board files on the share sight for PCBway.

-Write tutorial for ordering assembled boards at JLCPCB.
