Hi Rogue, Welcome to the Community!
Are you looking to submit your own robotic boxer for the recently promoted “olympics” … or are you looking to work on some “instruments” that are desperately needed, such as
-
automated forestry rovers for species-specific mass re-planting
-
automated forestry rovers for grass-fire control/extinguishing,
-
automated forestry rovers for fire-break tree-cutters/harvester,
-
automated pipeline rovers for sewer clearing and junk extraction,
-
automated pipeline rovers for maintenance inspection of Natural Gas Pipelines,
-
automated ship bilge maintenance on large oil tankers or freight shippers?
The list of “unattended” tasks (pun intended) is huge!
Anyhow, for the experimenting, there is a Maker-oriented magazine out there, called Make, and they offer a lot of goodies (old issues and books) to help you along, from a generic standpoint. There are also these fora:
If you have specific types of hardware or software that you are interested, share your needs/questions/problems and there are bound to be people who can point you in a useful direction, or even provide a very pointed and useful solution. You never know until you ask!

Linux Mint – I’ve switched back to Windows for the time being due to a change in hardware, but I’m on the lookout again for the most stable version. As for wallpapers, I’ll post something soon. I’ve been away for a bit

Hi Keith! A warm welcome from a Leeds lover (the city not just the footy).
Lucky you, living in Leeds. I am languishing down south in Reading, Berks (a county or an adjective?).
I am pretty settled on Arch-based Linux distros having tried a huge number of alternatives over the years, starting from about 1990, but with a bit of exposure before that.

In the Linux vernacular that would be spawn a task. (I think it’s also more accurate as a description.)
