This thread is created to keep everyone up to date on changes that are made or will be made to LMR. We do want to keep everyone in the loop. Rest assured that we do not have plans to change everything drastically but, we do want to make things better for this community and this therefore means that some things will be improved. We are looking forward to consulting the community and having members vote on major changes also.
Only external links in Only external links in projects and robots will be tolerated, so members can link to where products can be purchased in order to complete the project.
Hmm, does that mean I can’t link to an interesting video on YouTube showing the newest Boston Dynamics robot, a news piece on IEEE Spectrum describing new advances in robotics, or a published scientific paper, describing a new balancing model for a walking robot? That’s harsh.
Of course you can. What we are talking about here are users that spam links to online stores. Using LMR to market there store or products. It is encouraged that members post videos or news about robotics.
We recently made an update to the Let’s Make Robots Martketplace in order for users to quickly choose from a dropdown menu if the part being sold is new or used.
You can view more information on this feature here.
Posts like “Tha 0.99$ shipped list”, how they fall on the rules? It’s not advertisement by the vendor, it’s just a search for the best cheap parts available.
Finding good cheap parts it’s half of the work at the beginning. I have a low budget, so finding parts at lower cost lets me make robots that wouldn’t have been possible.
Thank you for your comment. The logo that was there just before also did not have the tagline. We just removed the extra bars and moved the little robot to the position it was at in the original logo. Hope this helps.
