    What are some good Arduino robotics packages I can buy? Does Lego Mindstorms use Arduino? I want to learn how to use motors to build robots. Do I need to study mechanical engineering?

    Customizing G1 Omega Supreme toy

    Hmmm... So should I learn how to program microcontrollers instead of designing circuits? It seems like less trouble and I don't have to spend all that time figuring out how components work, and work together. I'm not familiar with the term "everything is a nail when I have a hammer". What...

    Is there a connection between chess and electronics? Will studying chess help with my development in electronics? Don't they both require logical thinking? Does playing chess stimulate one's electronics design creativity?

    After designing a circuit on paper and on a breadboard, do you physically build the circuit yourself? Or nowadays do you send the design out to a third-party to build it for you? I don't have a soldering iron or a workshop.

    Is it okay to "just put the devices on a breadboard and see what happens"? Isn't that dangerous? Couldn't I burn up the components and breadboard? Isn't it possible that I might get electrocuted or blow something up (ie. cause an explosion)?

    What level of mathematics do I need to know to design my own circuits? I read Darren Ashby's "EE 101". Is that sufficient knowledge for me to become a successful electrical engineer?

    Are Circuit Simulator software programs helpful to anyone? I get bored and frustrated by them personally. I'd much rather put the parts on a breadboard myself. I feel a sense of pride and pleasure from doing that. Anybody feel differently?

    I want my G1 Omega Supreme toy to be able to talk. Maybe like those dolls that you squeeze and they say something appropriate to their character. G1 Omega is plastic so he probably would require a button.
