Technical Library

Everyone likes to learn, right? So I thought I'd start a library of various information for people to learn from. What's posted here? Everything that you'd need to know to build a FIRST robot. This includes gears, mechanics, pneumatics, electronics, and programming. If you have a tutorial on how something works, or how to create something, post it here in link form. I'll add it. Please do not post information specific to kit parts.

General

HowStuffWorks - Gears, Motors, Differentials, Everything Else
ChiefDelphi Whitepapers - Whitepapers section of this website

Mechanics

Boston Gear's Gear Theory - Boston Gear's comprehensive manual on gear theory
General Motor Information - Motor Power, Selecting a Motor, Gear Construction, etc.

Electronics
