Introduction and Forum Thread advice.

[R9000]

Hey TornTech, welcome to the forums! There are generic threads all over the forum for asking different types of questions, but sometimes it can be difficult to find them. It's usually a good idea to try the search box in the top-right, but if you can't find what you need, a lot of people tend to, as you say, make their own build diary thread that others can follow and give advice on. If you have a general idea in mind, I'd recommend you start a build diary and ask questions there. I know quite a few people read them often, including me (though I'm still a noob at this).

Just a bit of advice, you might want to title your build thread something like "Team X Builds" or "<Person>'s Robots" (rather than "<robot name> Build Diary"), since you may end up changing the name of your robot, or using the same one for future projects too. I did this, and I wish I'd have made it a bit more general at this point, since my robot has a different name now. :P Hopefully that made sense, and happy building!

-EDIT- Whoops, I was an idiot and didn't realise you'd already made the thread. Nice one anyway.
