Best place to start is radioshack. :v:[/QUOTE]
That's probably the dumbest thing I've heard all week. You're implying that electrical engineering is easy.
If it's so easy, go ahead and do my homework for me, champ. And this shit isn't even hard, this is only a 200 level EE course (they go up to 500 at my university).

baby stuff
come to me when you start putting together a stable monophonic synthesizer with a filter
Check out Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware Hacking.
You don't have to be a musician to find it awesome, but it's the best book for learning the basics of circuit bending if you know nothing about electronics.
[QUOTE=adadr;20508541]Make a coilgun. That's how I started[/QUOTE]
Make a coil gun with multiple car batteries and thousands of capacitors. Aim it at your neighbors house.
Learn the basics of electronics first.

This way, you won't do something retarded and get shocked.
This stuff sounds pretty cool.

Never said it was hard, it's merely the building blocks. But even the baby stuff isn't "retardedly easy."

I'm going to school for computer engineering. Haven't learned much about actually making things yet but that'll come. I'd just start out with schematics online and start making some simple but cool things, and then learning how they work and everything. If you are going to be making robots then you'll probably want to learn some programming.
prepare to use a lot of solder wire
i did a unit in engineering on electronics and despite being p. wordy you can make a lot of cool stuff and get the knowhow to make cooler stuff
youtube actually has some fun things to do if you ever got some time on your hands, too.
what are some good basic soldering irons from jaycar?
[QUOTE=Lexinator;20549412]what are some good basic soldering irons from jaycar?[/QUOTE]
I'd suggest going for a 25W iron, preferably it should have changeable bits so avoid going for something cheap.
I have an Antex XS 25W which works pretty good, it also has a good range of tips and only cost £15

Yeah 30W is quite ideal. Not the cheapest shit but the second-cheapest iron will do.
I bought some kit that had iron, solder, stand (you need a proper stand ffs), clippers, and 2 little electronic projects that were quite useless for 30$ or so, and it still serves me just fine.
Soldering assist tools are essential for surface-mount components and making life easier with regular ones.
