New 4WD robot chassis is 3/4 the size of my 2WD chassis. It'll be interesting packing the electronics (USB battery pack, rpi, motor hat, pan/tilt camera set, IMU, and 3x URS) onto it…
@matigo Agreed --- I've mostly been looking at some 4WD chassis as a starting point, but eventually I'd like to do aerial and underwater vehicles, too.
As for stairs and walking, I'm partial to hexapods, myself.
@peemee Maybe toast doesn't make the requisite sacrifices to the gods of video?
@joeo10 I've been better. Things staying the same visually is good, I think it's fine the way it is. How are you?
@joanna Tired and a little down --- rejected from a trade school program for software engineers due to not being good enough (aka not strong enough in the prereqs), but doubling down on getting that foundation in. I was up until 3 am this morning trying to finish up one of the prereq courses, so that doesn't help, but I really expected not to make it in this round. How's life on your end? I saw something on pnut about FORTRAN (or is it Fortran these days?)
@kdfrawg Thank you, sir. It's amazing how much faster time seems to go when you have a lot to do (and with a purpose).
@matigo I feel this way about robots… the nice thing about them is that you (probably) don't need the internet. Robots are great, aren't they?
Hello. It's been a while since I last logged in (where does the time go‽). How's everyone doing?
