I am an amateur roboticist currently learning as much as I can about programming in multiple languages as well as building robots and other various circuits.
Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to WikiProject Robotics! Our goals are to standardize the structure and content of all Robotics articles, improve Wikipedia's coverage of these articles (hopefully propelling them to featured article status), and serve as the central resource for all discussions and information related to Robotics on Wikipedia.
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The Robotics infobox is one way we hope to standardize our coverage of Robotics articles. All Robotics pages should have this infobox, and relevant fields should be filled in and sourced.
- Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has a few expanding departments, which handle article quality assessment, member recruitment and project awareness and article improvement collaborations.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask one of the project participants or post a question on the talk page. We'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! —- Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 17:41, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Btw, HDL, I wouldn't be surprised to see the first 10 new people who want to contribute to robotics posting on 10 different pages. There are many people coming, but some have an "angle", there's some page that they want to change, or there's some people they want to talk to. It's going to take a while to get people talking on the same page about the same thing, but it will happen. - Dan Dank55 (talk) 19:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Partial answer to your question
You asked a few days back what kinds of things you should start posting...sounds like an easy question but it's actually pretty hard. I've survived some tough fights this week with people who make the kinds of decisions of what goes and what stays. Bottom line...pretty much anything goes. There's a place on our main project page to post the names of articles you create, and of course, if you have any questions about how to make pages, just ask. (If we've moved that page around, just tell me the names of your pages.) The one thing that will get an "eventual delete" tag slapped on a new article is not having a source...something as simple as a web site that's not a sales or promotion site mentioning whatever it is you're talking about is probably enough to merit being bold and creating your article, and if you don't even have that, tell me...there's nothing wrong with generating publicity for SoR projects so that they become "notable" enough for WP, as long as the publicity is real. - Dan Dank55 (talk) 03:59, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
