First!

Haha, Ok, here it goes, First post and a little introduction. Name is Jacob Greenburg and I am currently a Mechanical Engineering Master's student. I work on many robotics and electronics projects ranging from rooting my Nook color, to more advanced topics such as AVR programming.

These things and more in the Name of Science!

Cheers!
