Re: Steve Jones and his physics analysis of 9/11...

I'm with Ken on this one. Whoever says it was like a pencil is blind. A more fitting analogy would be if you hit your screen door with an axe, and then torched it with a flame thrower. There's no...

Re: Truck Town finally has a good website!

Hey, I know the season's been over for a few months, but over IRI I finally got around to replacing the top header image with one that's relevant and nice-looking. I think it looks much better...

Re: What's the best solution for a homebuilt robot arm?

I disagree. That sounds infinitely more complicated than using servos.

Re: What's the best solution for a homebuilt robot arm?

Yeah, there is something you're missing. The point here isn't to be able to airbrush. The point it to build a robot arm. The airbrushing is just sort of a bonus. I would be perfectly happy if all it...

Re: What's the best solution for a homebuilt robot arm?

Largely neglected during our build season, there was finally time after competition ceased to make a website that is respectable, functional, and full of PHP.

Re: pic: PSA: Watch your metal shavings

Well what they really should do is put some sort of rubber above the circuit board and below the heatsinks so little shavings can't slip into the holes in the case. Maybe we'll find a way to modify...
