The following is my original post announcing Butters: (...) Butters was meant for Hobby Show 2003, but due to a miscommunication I missed that event... But we made it to Hobby Show 2004 (Good show guys!), which means it has done what it was built (...) (20 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.fun, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

Well, the pull of the dark side has finally overcome me.... I can resist it no longer... Dave my friend, you were right.... Chris, Rob, and Bruce - I am deeply sorry.... First, it was a harmless technic suspension bridge for a train layout - (...) (20 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Thanks for the heads-up Greg I went to the Saskatoon TRU to get my refund (or store credit in my case;-) and that was no problem, but alas, they were out of the bonus tubs. I was informed (further alas) that they won't be getting any more. The (...) (20 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

After living in my house for 16+ months, and after having a few guests stay over and mention that the 'spare bed' is tres comfortable, I decided to actually try it out. So on Saturday I had a little nap in the spare bed--the one with the flannel (...) (20 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I bought it in 2001, used it for about an hour, and decided it was very much a "Bad buy" (as I'm terrible at video games). I put it carefully back in the box, so it's (...)

The reason they don't work is that whoever coded up the PID loop to control the motors obviously had no idea what he/she was doing. I have not yet taken (...)
