I jump on this site every few days in the course of building the rov (lately a little distracted with other stuff and a little hung up on the electronics but we'll get it).  How is it that I have seen no mention of David's kickstarter "Zero to Maker"?!?  Check it out, its almost over too, just a couple days left.  Very nice project, excited to diversify my maker skills.

Here is a cool interview with David by the guys at inventables.
