<h2>So what's a Nodebot?</h2>
<div class="content-wrapper">
<p>
If you have any JavaScript experience, you can now use your powers to manipulate the machines.

to <a href="/sumo.html">Sumo Bot battles</a>,

and <a href="https://github.com/substack/matador-copter">Bull fighting with quadcopters...</a>
</p>
<p>
<img src="img/equation.png" alt="JS + Hardware = NodeBots"/>
</p>
<p>There are regular NodeBots events around the world where people meet-up to learn and hack together on Arduinos, Tessels, Edison's, Raspberry Pis, NodeCopters, robots, and any other gizmos that just need more input...</p>
<p>If you have no idea how to use an LED, have no fear NodeBot experts will be on hand to help you hack, solder, and 3D print your way to a full fledged NodeBot.</p>
<p>All you need is some basic JavaScript knowledge and desire to learn.</p>

<h3>Nodebots Kits</h3>

<h4>Johnny-Five Inventor's Kit</h4>
<p>Using the only kit made for nodebots, you’ll learn how to use JavaScript to build 12 Robotic and IoT projects. Bocoup (the company behind Johnny-Five) worked with Sparkfun to source the easiest to use hardware and develop the best getting started guide of any kit.</p>

<h4>Arduino based Kits</h4>
<p>These kits don’t include JavaScript based documentation but the parts give you everything you need to play with a wide range of sensors and devices.</p>

<h3>Nodebots Software</h3>
<p>Install <a href="http://nodejs.org/">Node.js</a> and get the <a href="https://github.com/rwldrn/johnny-five">Johnny-Five</a> library.
If you're controlling an arduino, you'll need to have it programmed with StandardFirmata, which is <a href="https://github.com/rwldrn/johnny-five#setup-and-assemble-arduino">pretty easy to setup</a>. If you're using a single board computer (like the Tessel 2, Raspberry Pi or Intel Edison) it will have all your IO built in and you'll need to grab the <a href="http://johnny-five.io/platform-support/">IO-Plugin</a> for your platform.
Once that is complete, you can now start hacking hardware like a champion! NodeBots makes the process of programming hardware circuitry very similar to how one would program a modern web page. Seriously, it is that easy!

</div>
<p>Even if you don't have any hardware you can still start learning with the <a href="https://www.npmjs.org/package/nodebot-workshop">nodebot-workshop</a> program which will teach you the basics of johnny-five through a series of code challenges.

<h2>Where do NodeBots come from?</h2>
<p>
NodeBots, the idea, was first conceived out of the increasing visibility of hardware creation and control within the upstart node.js community.
</p>
<p>
<a href="http://twitter.com/voodootikigod">Chris Williams</a> created a module called node-serialport that allows JS developers to begin controlling and directing the physical world.
From there, hardware has been the bright point of every JS conference event, dazzling audiences with everything from smoke machines to walking robots.
<strong>Now its time to get everyone in on the action. Now is time for the rise of JS Robotics.</strong>
