-* videos for assembling the hardware
+* assembling the hardware
+ go to the [[file:0-mechanical-assembly/mechanical-assembly.html][mechanical assembly]] page to see excruciating detail
+ on how to put the mechanical parts together.
* software
software is available as nice neat installable packages for
Mac OS X, GNU+Linux, and MS Windows.
all software used in this robot is available for you to use for any
purpose, improve, and, share those improvements (if you want).
-** arduino
-*** summary
- control how the robot gets information from sensors, and moves
- its motors.
-*** download
- https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
-** openscad
-*** summary
- create robot parts!
-
- use this program to view parts inside the "3d-printables"
- directory. write code to modify the parts and create completely
- new ones.

-** 7-zip
-*** summary
- extract the contents of .tgz files, like the content of this class.
-
- this is needed on MS Windows(tm) only.
-
- if you are on Mac OS X, or GNU (on cygwin or linux), then you do
