Re: Maybe Ken is pulling OUR leg!
Posted by Dodd Stacy at 1/26/2001 10:10 PM EST
Engineer on team #95, Lebanon Robotics Team, from Lebanon High School and CRREL/CREARE. In Reply to: Maybe Ken is pulling OUR leg! Posted by Joe Johnson on 1/26/2001 10:02 PM EST: : I am parsing Ken's sentences pretty closely. : It is clear that he INTENDS for us to think his robot : is going to balance on two wheels ala the I-bot. : But... I know two things: 1) This is a VERY difficult : task that I seriously doubt a computer with a 25msec : maximum sample rate can accomplish reliably. 2) Ken is : a very clever person that is not only a great engineer : but has a fine command of the language as well (he : didn't win the Woodie Flowers Award for whistling Dixie ;-) : I put these two facts together to believe that the : Huskie Brigade (our cross town rivals / friends) are up : to something sneaky, but not an I-bot like drive. : Rest assured, I will be in the pits checking them out. : Joe J. Funny, I had that same sense. I've got it! 2 wheels midships and dog sled runners just kissing the carpet fore and aft. But wait, how will they make it onto the bridge, or off? Like I said, I can't wait to see. Dodd |
