Intros

Working with mechatronics can often be challenging or frustrating if you aren't a experienced tinkerer. Through this series of introductions, we aim to equip you with nice-to-know knowledge ranging from an simple introduction of this website, to a way of challenging you to see new ways of implementing technology in your prototypes. So sit back, get yourself a caffeine rich drink and get ready for the wonderful world that is mechatronics!
