18:14 Nashenas If I wanted to work with robotics, but focus mainly on programming, where should I start off. Are the lego mindstorm kits good to start with?
18:15 anannie Nashenas: Lego mindstorm is great to get an intuition about the machines themselves
18:17 Nashenas anannie: Is there a particular set you recommend I start off with? I'm familiar with linear algebra, and took a robotics course, but it was all theoretical. There were only matrices with lots of differentials, but no hands on experience or programming.
18:17 anannie Nashenas: Wow. You have a really solid background
18:18 anannie Nashenas: Try out the NXT set
18:18 Nashenas Lol, price on Buy.com: $2224569.00
18:19 anannie Huh?
18:19 Nashenas I searched on google, and it showed some prices for the NXT kit to the right. That was the price from "Buy.com" for the NXT kit
18:20 anannie Nashenas: It's for £200 or so
18:20 Nashenas Yeah, it's showing up around $299. I just thought it was a funny so I shared it.
