Made a community robotics "tech tree" to answer "how do I actually get started?" (open source, WIP)(reddit.com)

If you've tried to get into robotics, you've probably hit one of these walls: How do I get started? How do I get from blinking an LED to an autonomous robot? I come from a software (or mechanical, or data) background, what am I missing? I couldn't find a single good answer to these, so I started building one: an open source "tech tree" for robotics. It's a visual skill map. You start at the root and unlock the rest as you go (electronics, mechanics, programming, data science, AI), with hands-on builds as the milestones: blink an LED, a sensor project, a robot arm, a robot dog, and up into more serious AI. The main idea: it's not new content. There is already a ton of great tutorials, courses, and docs out there. The tech tree is just the map that sits on top of it and points you to the right resource for each skill, in an order that makes sense. It's early and nowhere near complete, which is kind of the point. It's fully open on GitHub, so if you have a favorite tutorial, a course that made something finally click, or a resource you wish you'd found sooner, you can add it. PRs and issues welcome, and "you forgot X" comments even more so.
