Introduction

I've been working on and off in electronics and CS(or IT as it's now called) for.......a long time. One of the jobs that I've had that was the most fun was working in a computer refurb shop, well besides the nasty shock a 19inch monitor with a bad short in it can deliver. I've been off galavanting and moved back to Dallas a few years ago and finally starting to settle down a bit, so decided to find a hobby to take up some spare time. So Leo was born, the name is in reference to the zodiological sign that he came to be, not in reference to the Great Italian Master, Leonardo da Vinci.

I spent a month or so before thinking of the major decisions such as body design, MCU type, drive type, actuator or not, programming language(c preferred), sensors, and battery types.
