Ask HN: Best way to learn robotics with a 10 year old?

Hey all, after discovering the greatness of NHRL[1] my son and i would love to try building a small battle bot, but i know nothing of electrical engineering or robotics.

I prefer to learn how everything works and build something custom instead of just buying a premade kit and following instructions. I was wondering if there are any resources or books that we could go through together that would teach us the basics of electrical engineering and/or robotics.

Thanks!

Show HN: Tiny Moon – Swift library to calculate the moon phase

Tiny Moon is a tiny Swift library to calculate the moon phase for any given date, works super fast, and works completely offline.

All of this started when I realized that we only have 12, sometimes 13, full moon's in a year. That doesn’t seem like that many.

I set out to build a MacOS app to remind me when a full moon occurs, so that I could take a moment and step outside to appreciate it.

The MacOS app I ended up creating can be found at
