Hey everyone, I'm new at the whole automated robot stuff. WHat's up with the microcontrollers? What I mean is, which ones would be good for a beginner to try out, and how does one go about using them, programming them, etc? Thanks for the help. My e-mail is timetravelerkw@wmconnect.com

Well, right now, I'm looking at some Beam technology type robots and seeing how to use things like solar cells and light sensors to make a robot do run off light and search for it. Also, I'm interested in symets, and I think it would be cool to figure out some adaptions on them.
