Robotics was a completely new concept to me when I first encountered it. I had no idea what it entailed, but as I engaged more with it and began practicing, things started to click. I soon realized that practice was key to unlocking its mysteries and expanding my knowledge. One particular moment that stands out for me was when I was presented with the opportunity to construct a dozer. The project fascinated me, and I became fully invested in understanding its functions and exploring how we could control it using a remote. The more I delved into the world of robotics, the more my interest grew. I discovered that hands-on experience and experimentation were crucial for deepening my understanding. It was a rewarding journey of discovery, and I'm grateful for the chance to explore the captivating field of robotics.
