About Me:
Not a beginner to robotics, but a beginner to RC aircraft. Working on both a RepRap to build custom plane parts and the idea of a single board IMU to drive or fly the first itteration. Took plastics engineering and aircraft dynamics back in college, and I do electronics on the side. Industrial motion control is what I do in real life.
