Re: What do you guys do when you're bored
our team has started races half way around the track from touching one overpass to the other without touching the ground balancing on the ball. It's timed of course and i currently have the record with 6.59 seconds from overpass to overpass

Re: What do you guys do when you're bored
CAD drivetrains, write code, and/or eat. last year we had a tabletop CNC and i wrote pseudo-CAM sort of software for it.
I actually had the luxury of being bored briefly today; all the parts we could be making at the time were at our machinists' places. It's a nice feeling. You mean like...standing/rolling on the ball without touching the ground? How??? :O |

Re: What do you guys do when you're bored
any method you choose but you must remain on the ball, only half our track is clear of stuff which is why we only go halfway.
i challenge someone to beat it and post there time. from starting on the ball touching to overpass on one side go around the end and touch the other overpass. |

Re: What do you guys do when you're bored
I just read the posts and reply for no reason, but if there is no pc available i get on the lathe and just make some wacky designs out of some stock

Re: What do you guys do when you're bored
We seem to have a fair amount of, well, not really spare time. not as a whole team. progress comes in sections, so sometimes a few people will have nothing to do. We watch Invader Zim on the computer, listen to music, and whistle delightfully annoying television theme songs.

Re: What do you guys do when you're bored
Here's what happens when our programmers gets bored:
Code:
if (6 < 5)
{
// something that makes the robot spin around in circles,
// shoot off fireworks, and play 'The Star-Spangled Banner'
}

Re: What do you guys do when you're bored
CAD'ing.
The only major problem is that its never going to get built... Not to mention that it would be a pain to build at all. |

Re: What do you guys do when you're bored
This is what we do when we get bored in the shop
![]() (I'm in the green, my good friend Larry is in the orange, and Mr. Jon Ryan (a mentor who is like most of us students) is on the ball, trying to fly........ we think. |

Re: What do you guys do when you're bored
Ummm... ok I can't attach the file. I've tried reconverting it, compressing it. Nor can I acess the file on my computer either.
sigh. |

I also do things like this . . . http://falconir.com/pics/resistance.jpg But that was only on the way to robotics. If I'm actually bored at robotics, I just find something to do. Poof! Boredom dealt with. ![]() |
