A Little About The Author


Laris Pickett



I am interested in robotics, plants and photography. I started building electronic devices in grade school. My older brother was also interested so we could share electronic magazines and order electronics together, saving shipping charges.

Scratch built robots means obtaining wheels, motors and the means to control speed and direction. I have used PIC chips, Basic Stamps, Lego Mindstorm, Dios (Kronus Robotics) with various support chips. Seemed natural to extend these skills into the greenhouse this year and retire the X10 devices.
