Post by: karandex on May 08, 2012, 08:44:48 PM
My name is karan chaphekar.i am in 3rd year elex.degree at datta meghe college.
I have been following rc scene from school days but never was into it because of cost of entry. but as i look at it now its pretty cheap to get in to hobby.

I have dont many project in past.
I was finalist at roboliga ( used a 3pi and programmed and tuned my self)

Then i built a robotic arm to study kinematics

By difficulty in making the parts for arm i made cnc machine
