(...) Yeah! Maybe two bins, at either end. And a pan in the centre... the rope would have flags/targets on it for positioning. So the thing is you can have: a) robot does one big scoop, one big dump, but is slow b) robot is tiny and fast, taking (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I just realized I had a plastic bag of balls myself. Christina wouldn't let me take the Bag of Humanity (a creepy bag of 100 white soccer players) without taking a sack of balls and their kick-stands too. I found them the other day and (...)

(...) Rice sounds messy. Maybe you should use something easier to pick up. Like tiny soccer balls. Then, you could also roll them down the 32 long axles (tying back to the actual subject) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I like that idea. Dropping or picking things up. Or both. (...) Now THAT I'd like to do, but I wouldn't know how to score it or how to clean it up. Maybe lay a cookie tray in the center of the room, and you count by weight how much rice got (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I'll stick with the torque/speed PHYSICAL definition thank you... at least those things you can see and touch to fully understand. The electrical stuff - (...)

(...) The other cool analogy that falls out of this is the synchronization of positioning or phase angle (for AC power systems). If you have a long shaft with a gear on each end, and you index one tooth on each gear, the rotational position reletive (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

...is so cool! I've never used it before. But this is a dream! I just ordered 3 of those big "Hailfire Droid" wheels, so now I can finally have a go at building a model of this: (URL) Iain (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I'm still forming around in my head the idea of something with rope. Not rope climbing, but something lateral. Rope transversing/pickup. Flycams. Delta-by-rope. Something where you'd have this big long span of rope with the robots moving along (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
