You can now buy computers and computer hardware that is over 1000 times more powerful than it was 10 years ago and at a greatly reduced price. Also the world of electronics and robotics is starting to open itself up to the hobbyist at a much more affordable price with all the potential to develop your own cool complex electronic inventions. The world is changing and technology is changing faster. ![]() ![]() Figure 1 - "Board of Education" Circuit for the Basic Stamp II ![]()
