00:29 katsmeow-afk backwards?
02:44 Gushings Do mecanum wheels have any other restraints besides a rolling restraint?
02:47 Gushings I have a robot with two mecanum wheels - solve for roller axis constraints for both wheels, and end up with two equations - each describe how forward velocity on the corresponding wheel translates into universal motion.
02:49 Gushings I want to convert this to forward kinematics to solve for x, y, and theta (movement in universal frame) in terms of wheel movement (phi * L).
02:50 Gushings However, I only have two equations, and I'm trying to solve for three variables - where am I going wrong?
09:06 rue_house what I love about school is the names they give things, names the rest of the world has never heard of
09:07 rue_house yup thats what I thought it was
09:07 rue_house Gushings, I dont thik any of us use those

15:27 ace4016 god dammit...i must have had gorilla strength 6 months ago...can't get my filter off
15:31 b3nua hi
15:31 tobbor hi b3nua.
18:37 rue_house hmm
18:37 Tom_itx did that help?
18:37 rue_house I been cursed
18:38 katsmeow-afk ?
18:38 rue_house the jobs I haven't started are going wrong, the jobs I just started are going wrong, the jobs I just finished are going wrong and the jobs I finished a long time ago are going wrong
18:38 Tom_itx generating job security?
18:39 katsmeow-afk it's that new cell phone causing it
18:39 rue_house I dont think its the new phone
18:39 rue_house but apple not alowing me to downoad a free app cause I'v got no credit card infor for them isn't helping
18:40 tsmeow-afk agrees, but then she has no Apple s
19:03 ace4016 there...
19:03 ace4016 i must have gotten extremely weak since I last changed oil...
19:04 Tom_itx wuss
19:05 ace4016 heh. 6 months ago i was lifting heavy...created a bad gap from then to now; had to pull out the filter cap wrench
19:05 katsmeow-afk seen that happen once or twice, so i drove a screw driver thru the filter, slipped a pipe over the screwdriver, and got 6ft of leverage on it, it came off easily after that
19:07 ace4016 hehe
19:07 ace4016 i've seen that tip before; cap works well enough so i haven't had to resort to that...though i did have to use a hammer to properly secure the cap to the filter
19:26 twoverpi hows it going with the temporal credit assignment problem/
19:26 twoverpi yall?
19:26 sw0rdfish hmmmm I wonder, can you make a tablet pc by yourself or something....lol
19:28 twoverpi easy just put glue on the keys and lay the fold down screen on it.
19:30 sw0rdfish heh
19:30 twoverpi visual recognition? goal systems? motor output?
23:00 katsmeow-afk if my nose doesn't stop leaking as fast as it is, i am going to drown tonite
23:23 e_house throws kat a life
