Just recieved some books that I ordered.
I haven't had time to look though them all yet, but "making things move" has been very helpful. My weak point is the actual implementation of the motors and gears and mechanical stuff. It did not enough information necessarily to build my pancakeinator - but it had some good info on gears and gear couplers - stuff like that.
I also emailed the documentation proving my academic status to solidworks - so hopefully I'll be up and running with that soon. I did get AutoCad installed, so maybe I'll be able to get a 2D drawing together.
