Howl121 provides data focused reviews related to low cost robotics and drones.
Howl121 focuses on providing How Tos and Reviews that are technical in nature and of interest
to individuals working with Open Source or low cost robotics.
## Problem
### For Hardware
When we're picking out components to build a new robot, we need to understand the
performance of those components so we can make sure they fit our needs.
Professional grade equipment provides all of the information we need in datasheets,
but professional grade equipment is commonly too expensive for student projects, DIYers,
or individuals building small one off prototypes
These individuals rely on much cheaper components which sometimes don't provide any specs,
and when the specs are provided, are of questionable trustworthiness.
This makes it hard to do actual design work before we have to make a purchase.
### For software
A lot of reviews of new software related to robotics and Open Source are based on the reviewer
reading the initial announcement from the producer and then going through the initial tutorial
provided in the software's documentation.
While reviews from this little of information can be useful, it's not enough to make good
engineering decsions from.
## The Solution
Howl121 performs reviews of both hardware and software related to low cost robotics and drones,
with a focus on providing and collecting useful data to allow for data driven engineering
decisions.
For every component we review, we commit to providing information on the methodologies
we used to collect the information we're presenting with enough detail
that you can draw your own conclusions on the validity of the data we're presenting.
## Want to work with us?
We're very open on suggestions on what components to review or what additional
information people on interested in for a component.
We're very open on suggestions on thing to review or how tos that people are interested in.
