New Guides section on forum???

[grant_ploughbot]

Just looking through other forums i have noticed that alot of them have a very useful guides section.
This could prove very helpfull on this forum more than any! Guides such as the best methods of overcomming TX/RX radio interference, basic pneumatic guides for newcomers, a proper definition and rough values for types of batteries for differnt purposes etc etc. These should all be threads that we are not able to post in unless our guide has been thoroughly read by the FRA to make sur that only true information is being published. I think these could be VERY useful for everyone, mainly because the subject that they wish to look at will be easy to find, easy to read and most of all TRUE. I have looked on many occasions for things such as methods to overcome interfierence, and it took me hours to find a proper peice of info on it - a guides section would have made it so much simpler!

What do you think?

I found that after a while of searching, but thats exactly the kind of thing that i think needs to be put in a guides section, with many other similar explanations and pictures to help in other topics of robot building.

Do we need to make one?

A guides/link page perhaps.
