Where to go from here

As we near the end of this book, I'll address the questions that I get most often: Where do I go from here? What do I build? Who do I ask for help?

As for what to build, you can do as I do. I keep a small notebook with me, although I also use my phone to record thoughts—I think about the small things I'd like to have in my day-to-day life. What problems can I solve? What would look cool? I write down these problems or wants and go over them later. Can I fix this with a NodeBot, I ask myself. If I can, awesome! I have my next project. I think you'll find you have more ideas than you thought you did with this method.

Once you've built something, write about it! The NodeBots community loves to see how you built something. Don't worry if it's not the next terrain-navigating hexapod; we'd like to see how you built your Internet-connected Christmas lights or your automatic dog-feeder. You can never have too many examples for people to look at, and one of the best ways to contribute back is documentation.

What if you get a new part working? Submit a pull request to Johnny-Five. The team is very good about issuing fast and friendly feedback, and will work with you to get your component into Johnny-Five. Also, come and say "Hi" in our Gitter channel—we're super friendly and love to meet new users and NodeBotters.

Thanks for taking this journey through JavaScript Robotics with me! I'm nodebotanist on Twitter, GitHub, and just about anywhere—come and say "HI" and show me what you've built!
