Sensing the living LMR community since 2008w43.
BelatedRemember kids: once your robot is posted on LMR: it stays there. For ever. Come next Christmas, Pesach or any kind of New Year, LMR will still be hosting the pictures your shot, the video you edited and the very words you wrote. And they will haunt you for all eternity. That’s what happened with my blogs about my attempted Theo Jansen walkers. That project has been hibernating all summer long, but people are finding it through the search engines. And they are posting their own projects. Painful reminders of my own procrastination and lack of progress. And every bit as enjoyable to read as the next! Just make sure you post the robots you want to be reminded about. Even after many many months or even years. Hmm’kay? | |
DrawnAnother robot that should have been here sooner: this Drawbot could have entered the Write-LMR Challenge. If it could write. A challenge which has still not ended, by the way. Is this a case of collective procrastinating? Or is it forgotten because no-one bothers to Google it? |

7046When Frits wrote to DAGU that he needed an easy and cheap way to mount a sensor to a single servo, Oddbot was quick to respond. If you do not yet know who Frits, DAGU and Oddbot are, then you have not been reading your Pulses! Foei! Since then, ignoblenome wrote a fine walk through on creating a servo head that pans and tilts, using two servos. He suggested to create a little hold to keep one servo in position. Turns out Oddbot was thinking along the same line and the new and revised servo mounts are now being prepared for production. But we still call them the "Node 7046 Brackets" around here.
