Re: Learning resources for robotics

Yes, I am sure if you ask questions here, people will be willing to answer them. As long, as the question hasn't been answered before. Check the 'Search' feature to see.

There are a lot of resources on here, and the FIRST site, and wpi.edu, also.
FIRST also has partner sites, like FIRSTSite and NI FIRST.

For building the robot, most of it you will learn how to build it, by doing it.
FIRST does provide manuals for electrical and stuff.

For Programming, there are guides posted, and they will start you off with a frame code. To learn the actual languages, I recommend a book or even a class. I've seen The Basic of C and C++ for Dummies. NI does have some tutorials for LabView, and I am sure you could probably find a book if you wanted. I have seen online guides for programming languages, if you want to check those out. I just personally would prefer a book.

I know I haven't covered everything, because I could go on for awhile.
If you have any questions, I will be willing to try and help.
