Howl121 fills in the details for low cost robotics and drone components through
honest and meaningful tests and reviews.
## Problem
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 (like us).
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.
Howl121 fills in this missing information by collecting our own measurements for the
specifications you care about for the components you can afford.
## Draw your own conclusions
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.
Feel free to contact James at james@how121.com with suggestions or any other inquiries.
