I was really excited for this round of gift exchanges especially with having the maker exchange. I signed up for it right away and listed how much I loved robotics and wanted to get a robotic arm to play with (I really think industrial automation stuff is cool). I anxiously waited for matching to start. A couple days after matching I got a notification that my gift had been shipped. Sweet! A couple days later a big box showed up on my door step.

I quickly opened the box and was thrilled at what I found. An OWI robot arm kit. I had wanted one of these for a long time and just never bought one. The gift also included a short note from my Santa giving some info about what to look for to connect it to an arduino and make it programmable rather than manually controlled.

Thank you so much maker exchange santa÷
