Introductions
Hi, so we begin. This blog is going to follow me creating some mad robotics and AI to go with it.Today is Tuesday, I snuck home today from work at lunch time, just in time to catch the mail man strolling past. You see I've had a stressful few days. I ordered a robot kit (more of this later) from the US and you guessed it, it was being sent to a different address. I got two numbers on my address wrong when I typed in the order online, so instead of 4021, I wrote 4012. Luckily 4012 doesn't exist, and so the mailman (he has a brain - he works for Canada Post!), figured it was really addressed to me. So....Anyway
I got my box.
