A __Recipe Page__ is a page that describes how to perform a small task. 

Each Recipe should include:

* __Topic__, generally in the form of "''How do I…?''"
* __Description__ (a longer description of the recipe)
* __Author__ of the recipe (member name)
* optional __Links__ to related wiki pages or web pages

Also, each Recipe page should also be tagged as follows:
{{{
[{Tag Recipe}]
}}}
so that it can be catalogued. You can also include any tags that would help other people 
find the Recipe, such as "Hardware", "Software", etc. Tags are separated by spaces, e.g.,
{{{
[{Tag Recipe Hardware RaspberryPi}]
}}}

You can request a [Recipe], a [Task] or [Tutorial] using a [Request] (or by sending an email to [Murray] if you don't have write access to the wiki)

It'd be foolish to think that this website could replace the many existing sites that provide
good information for building robots, and acquiring the skills necessary to do so. Here's a few

His YouTube videos are very well done and include his ''[Collin's Lab|http://www.collinmel.com/collinslab.html]'' series, which among many other things shows how to solder, desolder, use an oscilloscope, use hand tools, use various sensors and electronic parts, etc.
