PlanningWelcome message
“Hi. Welcome to the HomeBot Robotics podcast. I’m your host Allen.
You know, a lot of people think building robots is for kids ... and other people think it’s for scientists. Ok - they’re both right - but there’s a middle ground; one with a large community of serious, amateur robotics enthusiasts like us.
Our HomeBot Robotics podcast promises to bring you the latest in hardware, technology, and what’s happening with open source robotics software. Our mission at Homebot is to make personal mobile robotics available to the masses by providing affordable and robust hardware building blocks, coupled with open source software solutions to get robotics enthusiasts and researchers jumpstarted.
We’re geeky - and have a pretty wry sense of humor - but you’ll always take away great ideas from our ten-minute podcast. We’ll bring you:
o Ideas and How-to suggestions for creating your own mobile robots
o Commentary on news and events in the world of roboticso A peek into our plans for cool and interesting new robotics building blocks.
So join us. Send us your ideas! If you like the podcast, tell a friend. We want to produce your show – one that helps all of us build the amateur robotics community.”

Record and edit the audioRecord and edit
• Quit all unused applications on your computer.• Record using an uncompressed WAV (PC) or AIFF (Mac) format, not MP3.• Record thirty seconds of silence. This can be useful during editing.• Watch the recording levels. Stay close but under maximum volume to avoid
losing (clipping) loud audio.• If you make a mistake, pause, then say your thought again. Leaving
a pause will help when you cut the bad phrase during edit.• Make a test recording. Catch mistakes now, not later during editing.
