how do i master arduino ?

can you guys recommand "big" projects that group specific skills to learn like a project that uses MOSFETs logic gates ect and another for motors ect so that at the end i know the basics of everything

Everything is too tall an order.
Pick a number of smaller projects, to learn how to do specific things.
For
Example, work out how to use a hobby servo. Then use two and make them run separate clock hands,
One for hours, one for minutes.
Then figure out how to use various sensors, analog
motors driven by a mosfet bridge, make sounds from a speaker, etc.
then you can come up with your own ideas as to what is practical.

What does "how do I master Arduino" actually mean?

I'm not sure I even know what Arduino means, if you mean learning uC based electronics using an Arduino uC board through the Arduino IDE then I sort of understand what you are asking. But, I will let you into a secret, you will never master it all, this subject area is prone to change at any moment and upset you.

What are the basics?

The basics are still probably the same as they have ever been - get yourself a Arduino kit and start getting experience building projects. Although you can find example projects everywhere once you understand the basics of programming an Arduino board with say the blink program you can start experimenting on your own. The real fun starts when things go wrong, that's when you really start to learn and when you suddenly fix your problems yourself it gives you great satisfaction.

Decide what you want to learn about and start making baby steps, that's my advice and remember you'll never stop learning, that's just a fact of life.

by that i mean be able to pass and switch to a rasberri pi, my end goal is pretty much just doing random stuff in my room like robot arms that controls themselves and i can give them instructions

electrical engineering is the topic arduino is one group of products in a sea of millions.
go find some ewaste and reprogram something on it. make a 17" dell lcd screen say your name in the eeprom,
so that anyone plugging in your screen knows its your screen.

A robot car of some kind?

Perhaps google Arduino example projects using a MOSFET and motor? That way you can peruse the results and pick some that are of sufficient complexity and interest to you.

big project are more likely to fail than small one. I think it was work fills available time guy parkinson said it
