Jonathan, you have 'discovered' what all of us discovered, at one time or
another: The Robotics System is by and large without instruction. It's not
a kit with directions ...yes, there are a few examples to get you started,
but mostly you're on your own.
I bought several books and picked likely examples and repeated them. I had
to do that just to discover how the pieces fit and the gears mesh and how to
turn from this direction to that.
Then I picked a project and began to build. It took a week or so and I must
have rebuilt each assembly three times before I got it right. I still do
that, even now.
I taught myself three different software systems.
Some of my larger projects took a month or two of spare time to complete.
It can take a big investment of time. But where else can you be a 'real
inventor'?
