Granted, I know nothing about welding, but i'm sure it can't be that bad. I know this thread isn't about me, but I do some of the most mind numbingly repetitive and boring shit in the world, on top of the most blazing hot warehouses you can imagine, with a 30 minutes to work, and 45 to an hour...

For the robot? Adding a set of IR LEDs to the turret so I can use the IR transistors to detect when it comes close to a wall at a really shallow angle. Low angles and walls seem to pose a problem for the rangefinder, as the soundwaves are deflected away from the rangefinder, giving the tank a...

Video :D ! http://s218.photobucket.com/albums/cc201/sinkoman_iii/?action=view&current=2011-09-11_14-13-30_654.mp4 As you can see, the path finding algorithm, AND the hardware, still have a lot of room for improvement. I think next up is implementing a reverse function, so the thing doesn't...

My mom was waking me up and dragging me out of my room before the sun had even come up to tell me what was happening and to show me on TV. I think I was in the 5th grade. That day in school, we just watched the news, which was nothing but replays of the two towers going down.

Sounds a lot like my life recently, except i'm fairly certain that i'm just extremely delusional, and merely perceive most of the more extreme cases of betrayal in my life. Don't worry stig, it'll get better, as cliche as that is to say. I think that, if i've been able to make it the past 18...

LOL, I wish. More like some dickhead with an Arduino board and a soldering iron, and a possibly severe case of OCD. Although i'd love to go (back) to college some day for electronics or electrical engineering. Hell, it'd be nice to go back to college period. Most of the parts came from...

Sup gais, I just wanted to share this little robot i've been working on for the past little while. It's really nothing too special, the circuitry is pretty primitive and shitty, and the whole repurposed-toy-tank-microcontroller-object-avoider-bot concept has been done to death, but i'm still...

There are three conductors which run atop and join each of the cells, eventually meeting at the junction box.

I understand the concepts and theories and whatnot behind semiconductors, the PN junction, depletion zone, etc etc. I was thinking more that the contraction of the epoxy/resin when it hardens might crack or warp them and of the physical stresses the cells would go through during removal...

To stop the edge of the panel from cutting into the two wires, thus shorting them. I think it might be even easier than that. The panel is actually some kind of tempered, possibly laminated glass, so it doesn't just fall apart by tipping it over. BUT, Assuming the glass isn't actually bonded...

Like, badhat, I hardly ever have reason to actually vocalize these sorts of things, but in my head, i've always gone so far as to actually pronounce "WYSIWYG" word for word.

Anybody who has anything at all to do with WYSIWYG editors should be shot. That is all I have to contribute to this discussion.

So I grabbed a shattered solar panel from work today, with the intent of somehow reusing it. I was originally thinking of just breaking away all the shattered glass to reuse the individual solar cells, but I can't imagine it'd be easy to do without damaging either myself, or the cells. The...

I think I was about that age when I joined the forums. I turn 20 next month ;( God damn I feel old. Herp derp berthdee. Yups, I can safely say that I am the same dickface as I was when I was 13, except with a lot of mostly drug related life experience, and a lot less braincells to show for...

Not what I wanted to read first thing in the morning :(

You should get one of the new Yami supermotos. Probably one of the best learner bikes out there, and even when you've got some more road experience, it'll still be the most fun bike you'll ever own.

Came with 2 batteries a charger and a bag. This sucker, plus these... Unfortunately I don't have an up to date TV, so i'm just running it on an old 17" CRT monitor at 480p, which kinda sucks. The monitor will go up to 1080i no problem, but since the aspect ratio is 4:3, everything just...

I don't know why I even still check these forums daily. I don't even play video games anymore, I hardly ever post, and the forums seem to have come to a crawl.

Posting to check before voting EDIT: 04. A lot has changed since then, and gaming is no longer a part of my life in any way shape or form. Way to make me feel old and unaccomplished. Makes me want to get back into gaming, or at least get my old rig running again to play some new source titles...

I honestly think it should be in Honolulu, Hawaii. You all know you agree with me.
