This weeks robot did leave me with two other leads tho. I COULD still do the original head, and there is that foam animal head I made too...
I need to make some of the cable servos, and a multi-channel servo tester.
Next week is a wire stripper tho!

oh, I went with the red on the side emitting filament, but it doesn't seem to work that well. If I'm ever trying to do a good job I will have to put lots of effort into it.

52 robots in 52 weeks.
ok, well I failed to finish this weeks robot project, which was an animatronic head. The idea was to re-fit an old head that I had built once. I changed my mind and built a new head from an online template, but then changed my mind again for a less organic design. But I also ran completely out of energy on sunday to make the mountain of progress that was needed to make a good finishing point on it.

@poleguy @Earl

well give us some numbers and pictures. Presumably model numbers and not pictures of your cat.

@poleguy @Earl

its an APC, can you find one otherwise working better in a dumpster somewhere?

@Earl Its supposed to limit itself power wise, their design really doesn't care about how deep the battery is. whats its rating? 350? 550? 850?

@Earl remove the buzzer, put an external battery connector on it, and use it with descent sized batteries!

@MLE_online The trike project I did taught me there is a LOT more tension on the chain that one would expect, if there is any way to keep the idler on the slack side, I suggest it.

@MLE_online 7 is about the entry level for burning man.

@MLE_online no no, I'm wondering where this is going on the "crazy bikes" scale! I think it just went from a 3 to an 8

@MLE_online uh....

@MLE_online @synx508 @botvolution @smellsofbikes

leaky hydraulic cylinders are easy.

@dcz but VCRs do this with colour video.

@simonzerafa too far back!

So I guess without social media we need to go back to blogs....

I realized there is more than enough potential in this project to get caught up in details for months. I better start shortcutting details so I can get the electronics and mechanics done!

@yrabbit THIS IS WHY!!!!!

arg I hate this machine, I hope to find out tomorrow with some help, why it likes to do 'towel mode' and 'no, I'm not going to tie those ones'

OK ITS A GOOD THING ITS A ROBOT
I got a stitch I think will be good enough!
