I'm really interested in diving into the world of robotics and mechatronics, but I'm feeling a bit lost on where to begin. I've taken a basic Python course, and I have both an Arduino and a Raspberry Pi. I'm eager to learn how to create robots or simple mechanical devices. Does anyone have some solid recommendations for resources or projects I could start with?

One of the best ways to start is by picking up a robotics kit. They usually come with everything you need to begin and fit a range of budgets. Look for something that includes sensors and motors so you can create different types of projects as you go along.
What kind of projects can I build after that? I already have a camera for my Raspberry Pi, some buzzers, and a small keypad. I'm thinking of a project where if the Pi doesn't recognize a face, it buzzes and sends a notification with a picture to my phone, but I'm not sure where to go from there!
