Attempting the Impossible

I hate last minute change of plans. Have made up my mind finally to give it a go at robot building.

well, not exactly advanced robotics. But who cares anyway. It does cover some basic line-following concepts, mechanical tools and C programming.. and the usual mechanics of statics, dynamics and some fundamental machinery.
The list of things so far that I'll need (or supposed to) are :


1) pirated software (like you don't already know)
2) free tutorials/ebooks
3) usb programmer, PIC, actuators and stuff
4) tonnes of coffee to keep me up

it is a standalone project which means virtually I don't get any help from anyone. And the due date's on the 1st of november. I'll give it a try anyway.
