Summary: You want to make stuff cold? Ha! Wanna run lots of high-power motors w/an Arduino? Don't bother. Why not? Why do people think DIY=inexperienced tinkerers, & thumb their noses at the idea of DIY addressing needs of professional scientists/engineers? I will dispatch this ridiculousness & demonstrate professional-strength kits that are accessible to beginners.
