I was telling Matt that I thought we should have a Rube Goldberg Hackathon
with all of our stuff at sudo. That way we would have to pull out a lot of
the stuff off the shelves and categorize them in terms of
electrical/mechanical specifications (to figure which thing to work with
which other thing), which would then be a part of how we shelve stuff as
well.
Sort of related to your Robot idea…
Like I keep wondering what we could do with those two powerful juicer
motors lying on the floor near the seeing machines?

hi all,
i got a really fancy motor controller and a bunch of really fancy motors
with encoders built-in, and it all works together.. and I think we should
consider making another robot. Here is the controller:

basically the brain can control six motors, which i have, with very
precise motion control and tracking, for example for the joints of a giant
robot.
The motors I have are a couple of sizes, but I think we should go big and
use the 500W (2/3 horsepower) motors, so the thing can be expected to cart
its own batteries around and be autonomous.
never mind, this is a dumb idea. but i do have the motors and controller,
and i may be able to get more. I guess we could build a 4x8 foot laser
cutter or something mundane like that.
