Step 6: For Me + What's Next ?

First of all, I would like to thank you for reading this guide ! I hope it helped you build your own robot and improved your knowledge about robotics and arduino.

I think now it's a good time to introduce myself. My name is Mert . Likes Math, Computers, Robotics and programming. I've just started a youtube channel, hoping to help people, share some of my knowledge and learn myself.

My YouTube Channel

My next Youtube (and Instructables) tutorials will deal with different methods of controlling electronics (Smartphone-Bluetooth control, remote control and much more) and specifically robots. There will also be videos about home automation (controlling every day appliances with your smartphone or computer using arduino). so make sure you are a subscriber so you won't miss them, and I will see you next time.

Bye !
