I'm working on a little nav idea that my robot can find my 'base' which is sweping a bright red led 'laser' over the area. I have to admit that I ventured into the Xacto and crazy glue area by using a 'laser' pointer and glueing four tiny mirrors (...) (20 years ago, 9-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) I don't work for the restaurant when I eat there. Thus this is not a valid comparison. Let's look at it this way: A regular venue, say, a business expo, the attendees are there for personal gain. They pay their entry fee and do their business (...)

(...) Good question about volunteers. I think it's all about what's expected up front. There are all sorts of reasons why people volunteer for things... if I was doing the same thing as somebody who had a different "deal" with an organizer, I'd feel (...)

The thread seems to be splitting from the original point, It is a fact that OpenGL generally places a depth of 16 on any transforms. If an LDRAW model in MPD format was presented to OpenGL as a raw data block I suspect that OpenGL would easily hit (...) (20 years ago, 8-Sep-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
