Robotics and Electronics

[Jet Black]

Is anyone here into robotics and electronics at all? I have just started learning programming of the parallel port with aim to construct an RC robot with video feedback, a bit like the mars rovers, but in my living room. anyone into that sort of thing? is this in the right hobbies forum?

I definately have a fascination with robotics, but time, money, and my lack of a full understanding of electronics so I can hook everything together keeps me from it. That and there's really no good way to give robots information about the world they roam so they can make intelligent decisions. They need better vision.

Anyway, so my hobby is computer programming (developer tools, games, etc).

Just wanted to let you know somebody does have an interest in robotics and electronics too! :]
