I have been running Ubuntu 15.04 for about six weeks now and I must say it is GREAT!

I have been a Windows user for most of my computing life and cannot wait to get my reserved download/license of Windows 10.

If you are wondering what happened to my ActivityBot Project, I have an answer for you.

Over the past year or so my focus has swayed towards coding/ building for the web.

Took a slight detour from robotics to learn a bit more about coding for the web.

I am currently hosting this site using WordPress on Amazon Web Services. This is my first adventure into controlling a computer from the terminal/shell without a graphical user interface.

I finally opened the ActivityBot Kit and took a few pictures of the components included in the kit.

A package that I was expecting to receive in about four to six days from now arrived today.

Remember the show BattleBots that aired during the early 2000’s on Comedy Central? The show was based on a tournament of generally remote controlled fighting robots.

Radio Shack was one of my favorite stores in the 1990’s thru early 2000’s.

I finally ordered a Parallax ActivityBot Robot Kit and it should arrive sometime next week.  Here is a brief rundown of some features of the ActivityBot kit.

I say “Hello, Robot” because I plan on tinkering with robotics kits and other related items hopefully with some documentation to go along.
