[00:29:10] <rue_shop3> tag!
[00:29:14] * rue_shop3 runs
[00:30:31] * zhanx steps on rue
[00:31:47] <zhanx> so rue seriouly
[00:31:53] <zhanx> like serious
[00:31:55] <rue_shop3> $12?
[00:31:59] <zhanx> yes
[00:32:04] <rue_shop3> you have .... $8 left in the budget
[00:32:13] <zhanx> yea
[00:32:24] <zhanx> thats not gonna happen
[00:32:25] <rue_shop3> with $28 left till overbudget cutoff
[00:32:38] <zhanx> i got 2000 left
[00:32:57] <rue_shop3> $20 project budget, 200% limit
[00:33:26] <rue_shop3> any money the project makes in spinoff tech or whatever is free to the project
[00:33:47] <rue_shop3> (if you make $500 from stuff the project did, you get $540 till cutoff)
[00:34:42] <rue_shop3> thats part of how I'm gonna do the 12' mecha for $240
[00:34:50] <zhanx> ok
[00:35:13] <zhanx> so this is subsystem 3 of 30 (known)
[00:35:16] <rue_shop3> so componentize and market subtech of the project as it goes
[00:36:04] <zhanx> ok sound 3d location
[00:36:17] <rue_shop3> acoustic
[00:36:21] <zhanx> will enhance video feed
[00:36:23] <zhanx> yes
[00:36:34] <zhanx> 12 mics etc
[00:36:55] <zhanx> SLAM 3.0
[00:38:14] <rue_shop3> yesterday I invented the reverse echo
[00:38:28] <rue_shop3> the later reflection is louder than the source
[00:39:20] <zhanx> say what?
[00:39:29] <rue_shop3> aside from an effect in music, I'v not come up with a use for it
[00:39:32] <zhanx> how is that possible
[00:40:00] <rue_shop3> technology
[00:40:10] <zhanx> no energy
[00:40:21] <zhanx> as it travels it losses it
[00:40:44] <rue_shop3> then its like a negitive resistance amplifier
[00:41:21] <rue_shop3> air that amplifies and speeds up the wave as it travels
[00:41:48] <rue_shop3> or a tech effect to achive something new in a way that hasn't been thought of yet
[00:42:18] <zhanx> fine i will prove you wrong again
[00:42:23] <rue_shop3> after all, infinite improbability started as a party trick for relocating undergarments
[00:42:31] <zhanx> this time not in a combat zone
[00:42:51] <rue_shop3> wait till the wife finds strife with it
[00:43:10] <zhanx> fyi i found all the e.l.f code yesterday on a cd
[00:43:12] <rue_shop3> acoustics will be its only defence
[00:43:22] <rue_shop3> good show, and the cd still worked?
[00:43:31] <zhanx> yep
[00:43:36] <zhanx> got my slam back
[00:43:37] <rue_shop3> amazing
[00:43:43] <rue_shop3> hara
[00:43:48] <rue_shop3> and the filter?
[00:43:54] <zhanx> no filter on it
[00:44:07] <zhanx> think i can redo it
[00:44:18] <rue_shop3> so your whatchmacallit filter is gone?
[00:44:27] <zhanx> yep
[00:44:37] <zhanx> but all the notes are there
[00:44:49] <zhanx> 9 years later
[00:44:53] <rue_shop3> notes, how novel
[00:45:02] <zhanx> yea i tend to do that
[00:45:27] <rue_shop3> that said, the 10' stack of papers prolly means I make project notes too
[00:45:54] <zhanx> note: 1 leg one has a hitch its 43us of the rest of the servo's correct it
[00:46:34] <zhanx> need to sort it
[00:47:10] <rue_shop3> I'm building a New cnc....
[00:47:23] <rue_shop3> this'll be the 3rd started since the last one that worked
[00:47:30] <zhanx> i and making a large drone soldier
[00:47:39] <zhanx> an not and
[00:48:52] <zhanx> so the us and Canada no longer send troopers
[00:49:51] <rue_shop3> ok, I'm making a 12' utility mecha, wanna co-develop?
[00:50:12] <rue_shop3> I'll show you mine if you show me yours
[00:50:16] <rue_shop3> technology!
[00:50:21] <zhanx> your twice as tall but i will give you my sound mapping code easy
[00:50:49] <zhanx> my vision, sound and fire code will all be open
[00:51:28] <zhanx> i already stole your walking solution
[00:51:42] <zhanx> slash you gave it to me
[00:59:05] * rue_shop3 tries to remember
[00:59:23] <rue_shop3> how about compliant pneumatic actuators so it can JUMP
[00:59:56] * rue_shop3 tries to sweeten the deal with the tech that was going to go into the battlebot that became a dropped projet
[01:00:46] <zhanx> 3d fx wire frame code
[01:01:17] <zhanx> it allowed me to code my legs etc
[01:02:40] <rue_shop3> I have force feedback tech I'm still working on a test of too
[01:03:14] <rue_shop3> remember the darpa robot that fell over when it missed grabbing the valve handle?
[01:03:19] <rue_shop3> and tried to turn it
[01:03:28] <rue_shop3> __FORCE FEEDBACK__
[01:03:39] <rue_shop3> :)
[01:04:54] <rue_shop3> I'm working on a machine to implement a ported brain on too, but I'd best keep that to me
[01:05:48] <zhanx> umm darpa help me not me them
[01:07:21] <rue_shop3> right now my test platform of the force feedback stuff is stuck in 'current sensor noise is 50% of signal level'
[01:07:41] <rue_shop3> funny enough, its not the first time that motor current sensing has gone wrong for me
[01:07:50] * rue_shop3 looks to the hexapod on the bench
[01:08:10] <rue_shop3> you know about my hexapod right?
[01:08:23] <zhanx> yep
[01:08:30] <rue_shop3> I started it before the craze
[01:08:36] <rue_shop3> now da craze is over
[01:08:42] <zhanx> smaller of my octopod
[01:08:54] <zhanx> craze is over here also
[01:09:18] <rue_shop3> yea, buddy IV is a pneumatic octopod with 4 axies/leg
[01:09:22] <rue_shop3> ~jumping~
[01:09:28] <zhanx> nice
[01:09:37] <zhanx> i lost 6 legs for the new one
[01:09:41] <rue_shop3> but its a nixed project, there is no more battlebots tv show to enter
[01:09:52] <zhanx> gained a few things instead
[01:09:58] <rue_shop3> didn't the acrilic peices break?
[01:10:16] <zhanx> hence why i lost them
[01:10:24] <zhanx> i am welding this one
[01:10:41] <rue_shop3> ok, I have a cnc, and I have lexan
[01:10:57] <zhanx> lexan sucks it breaks fast
[01:11:04] <rue_shop3> no, it tears
[01:11:08] <rue_shop3> dosn't break
[01:11:09] <zhanx> i am using 18 gauge wire
[01:11:16] <zhanx> rue same thing
[01:11:20] <rue_shop3> er, you mean 10?
[01:11:35] <zhanx> nope thinner
[01:11:49] <rue_shop3> hyperstructure?
[01:12:22] <zhanx> bird bone structure is the model
[01:12:33] <zhanx> i wanted aluminum
[01:13:10] <rue_shop3> how the hell you gonna weld that
[01:13:18] <rue_shop3> how about 3d printed?
[01:13:33] <rue_shop3> there are some plastics that are crazy strong
[01:13:51] <zhanx> cast
[01:14:37] <rue_shop3> you just need a 0G lab so you can foam core the aluminum
[01:14:55] <zhanx> nope i will use waz
[01:15:00] <zhanx> wax
[01:15:21] <zhanx> 3d printed waz
[01:15:22] * rue_shop3 works on the cnc
