Get Educated

Once I realized I had the bug to build, it was time to scour the web and learn as much as possible from those who went before. Joined the R2D2 Astromech.net club, read and reread all their files, read as many blogs and web pages as I could find about building. I learned a lot of what not to do and some clever solutions to complicated problems from those guys. And I found most of them to be friendly and helpful on email.
