Very interesting. Thanks for sharing Al.

Its funny this comes up today, as I believe Nick at Nite is airing all 3 movies starting tonight and continuing tomorrow and Wednesday.

I wonder what doc would have said if there was a "Capacitive Onion Ball" in the back, heh.

I wonder how well the onion cap can handle large surges of incoming power, such as when the Delorean was struck by lightening.

well the way i see it there's only one way to find out: build it and try it

I think we have a perfect summertime activity for robotics teams to try....

Re: A Real Flux Capacitor?

My only concern is whether it will be GDC legal and how we inspectors are supposed to test it?;)

Re: A Real Flux Capacitor?

If the Robot Inspector tests it in the past then do previous season rules apply?
Ditto for the future?
If it works then you probably can't apply present season rules...

assuming it has the necessary 1.21GW of power i suggest attaching a watch to it, syncing that watch with your personal watch, and sending it 1 min into the future. if your watch is 1 min ahead of the one on the flux capacitor it works

Inspection already takes too much time. I suggest sending it an hour or more into the past so you can finish inspection before you start and be running practice matches and working on the robot while it's waiting in line to be inspected.

Re: A Real Flux Capacitor?

I was thinking that anyone that was able to include it in a functioning design should pass inspection automatically. I wouldn't want to be near it! Look what it did to Doc's hair.

This is precisely why many teams would be driven to go see it!
