Becoming a DIY robotics master

If you want to continue creating ever more advanced Arduino robots and mastering DIY robotics, you already have a good sense of what skills you need to hone: everything that we covered or touched upon in this book.

For building robots, it quickly pays off to pick a (free) CAD software (such as Onshape) and aim to get increasingly proficient at it. Practicing CAD is easy; you can simply pick any object that you see and try to create a 3D model of it in CAD. Get comfortable creating various geometries from scratch, designing parts in the context of other parts, and...
