      Hey Greeny,

      I’m a software engineer so all I need is my Macbook, an internet connection and my brain! 🙂

      I do not build robots or things. I am in Software Engineerings so we do not build physical things but software. When it comes to robots etc. we just buy the hardware.

      So many…
      For building things I use alot of aluminium and plastics. When we need a really strong material but something that is also light, I use carbon fibre or kevlar. I 3D print alot so I also make things with plastic that works in a 3d printer (called PLA). For material that is skinlike – I use either latex or silicon. There is a really nice aluminium-foam composite called dibond that I also use quite alot – its really handy because its cheap. really light and really strong.

      I dont use much wood or much steel.
