My name is Ryan, and I've been reading some of the forums and tutorials here for a while, but now feel like I've got something worth contributing. I've been into electronics since I was young, taking apart all of my toys that had any electronics, and even some that didn't :). I'm currently a student at the College of the North Atlantic in Telecommunications Engineering and going on to finish an Electrical or Mech Engineering degree next year. I've been playing around with robotics, electronics, RC, and modelling more in depth in the past few years, and now have finally gotten some major projects underway. My two current major projects are a self-balancing platform that is remotely controlled and a semi-autonomous hexapod, both are somewhere in between design and build phases right now :p.

Outside of robots, I enjoy camping, hiking, climbing, photography and model building. I'm currently building a model Grammy trophy for a friend of mine's birthday, she's a big music lover, so it'll be an interesting gift.

I'll be, hopefully, posting and asking questions soon. And if anyone needs info about Nitro RC or modelling techniques, just send me a PM and I'll be happy to help. ]]> Off Topic Formori http://forums.trossenrobotics.com/showthread.php?t=1394 http://forums.trossenrobotics.com/showthread.php?t=3693&goto=newpost Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:41:02 GMT Now see - I think he missed the mark on flooding. I agree that wicking is painful and illadvised. But there's a reason we call it "flood and suck". Using a solder sucker, especially a rework sucker, makes flood-and-sucking those big chips go with almost no effort. It's easy for the novice and you don't really need to _work_ under magnification, using it to check the work afterwards. ]]> Off Topic Adrenalynn http://forums.trossenrobotics.com/showthread.php?t=3693 http://forums.trossenrobotics.com/showthread.php?t=3668&goto=newpost Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:34:49 GMT Wise advice indeed!
