00:00 rue_shop3 I'm saying the motor is pneumatic
00:00 rue_shop3 for turning the bit
12:34 MrCurious paper scizzors rock lizzard spock
12:35 aemquo ... wat
12:38 robotustra_ enterprise
12:39 MrCurious big bang theory
12:42 robotustra_ why I know English and you don't know russian?
12:43 MrCurious i am lazy, you are over achiever, possiblly with mommy issues
12:43 robotustra_ my mommy has no issues
12:44 robotustra_ you must learn some russian
12:44 robotustra_ stamp expressions
12:45 GuShH_ robotustra_: why don't you know spanish if I know english?
12:45 robotustra_ because I'm russian
12:45 GuShH_ robotustra_: no, you have mommy issues, not your mom.
12:45 robotustra_ I know 4 languages
12:45 GuShH_ robotustra_: french doesn't count
12:45 GuShH_ you only know how to order baguettes.
12:45 GuShH_ and make moaning and grunting sounds in french, that does NOT count.
12:45 MrCurious is this a pissin contest?
12:46 GuShH_ MrCurious: yes
12:46 GuShH_ he's russian, the answer to that is always yes.
12:46 robotustra_ if I have mommy issues then you all have simply issues
12:46 GuShH_ like what?
12:46 robotustra_ like mental
12:46 robotustra_ :)
12:46 GuShH_ speak for yourself
12:47 robotustra_ relax, I'm your daddy, not mommy
12:47 GuShH_ that's showing even more issues from your side
12:47 MrCurious clever and creative never come without side effects...
12:48 robotustra_ MrCurious: what did you with GuShH_? why he doesn't understand sarcasm?
12:48 robotustra_ I left you with him for a day and what....
12:49 MrCurious under advice of council i decline to comment on this issue
12:49 robotustra_ :)
12:50 robotustra_ people now can't even think without council
12:52 robotustra_ I'm waiting for day when jural system of US will fail completely
12:52 robotustra_ under it's own weight
12:52 robotustra_ because of contradictionary set of laws
12:53 robotustra_ according to the laws of america all of you are guilty just because you are exist
12:54 GuShH_ robotustra_: I'm surprised their buildings don't fail under the weight of the occupants in the US.
12:56 robotustra_ because they were built by jewish germans
12:56 robotustra_ unless it's a 1 floor plywood barn
13:14 GuShH_ robotustra_: in my book jews would cheap out on materials
13:14 GuShH_ and the buildings would pretty much be see-through
13:15 Tom_itx swiss cheese
13:16 MrCurious i had heard the nazi's bailed to argentina after WW2, but i didnt believe it... until now
13:17 ShH_ sends MrCurious to the sho
13:21 GuShH_ what the hell
13:21 GuShH_ airplane just flew across while someone inside of it was playing live guitar... with an amp, but it sounded like shit due to the doppler effect
13:21 robotustra_ Ж)
13:21 robotustra_ :)
13:21 GuShH_ that was bizarre.
13:22 MrCurious sure it wasnt a stray V1 buzz bomb?
13:22 GuShH_ hah
13:22 GuShH_ no they're circling around
13:23 MrCurious must be a dud
16:43 Jentrep I just found a pretty kick ass website! O_O
16:43 Jentrep http://derekmolloy.ie/
16:45 robotustra_ Jentrep: saw it a year ago
16:45 Jentrep :(
16:46 robotustra_ good site
16:46 Jentrep I'm behind the times! D:
16:46 robotustra_ but beagle bone is not relevant any more
16:47 robotustra_ Beagle bone is slow on usb
16:47 Jentrep Why is it not relevant anymore? D:
16:47 Jentrep Oh :/
16:48 robotustra_ web cam doesn't do more than 8 FPS
16:48 robotustra_ of 640x480
16:48 robotustra_ with ubuntu
16:48 Jentrep :/
16:48 Jentrep That's bad LOL
16:48 Jentrep :P
16:49 robotustra_ and cannot work with webcam at all with ANGSTROM
16:49 robotustra_ bad usb driver
16:49 Jentrep So the USB driver just needs to be rewritten :P
16:49 robotustra_ as well as all other hardware on arm
16:50 robotustra_ good luck
16:50 Jentrep Sounds like a decent project for a noob like me ;P
16:50 Jentrep Well, maybe I don't care about beaglebone that much :P
16:50 robotustra_ do you know linux kernel hacking good?
16:50 Jentrep And I am more interested in devving PCI modules
16:50 robotustra_ so you shouldnt care about derec molloy as well
16:50 Jentrep I don't know kernel haxing at all :P
16:51 Jentrep I am learning fast though :D
16:51 robotustra_ so, what is you robot?
16:51 Jentrep Well I am learning about device driver dev for multiple reasons
16:51 Jentrep It will be a useful thing to have :)
16:52 Jentrep I am not actually building a robot :P
16:52 Jentrep s/have/know
16:52 robotustra_ device driver is not a big deal
16:52 Jentrep :O
16:52 Jentrep :(
16:52 robotustra_ copy a buffer from one place to other
16:52 robotustra_ and so on
16:53 Jentrep It's not that simple :(
16:53 robotustra_ just to know the right location
16:53 Jentrep There are THREE address spaces involved in PCI drivers :(
16:53 robotustra_ and what?
16:53 robotustra_ the idea and the goal are the same
16:53 Jentrep PCI I/O , PCI Memory, PCI config space
16:53 robotustra_ copy data
16:53 Jentrep yeah I guess :(
16:54 robotustra_ from one plae to another
16:54 Jentrep But then what is more important? :O
16:54 robotustra_ in the live?
16:54 Jentrep live?
16:54 robotustra_ life?
16:55 robotustra_ the most implrtant thing in the life is not suffer from wars and desease and get as much fun as possible in the life
16:55 ShH_ places robotustra_ into the cockt
16:55 robotustra_ ?
16:56 Jentrep I like this tutorial :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdeGTRvPjK4
16:56 robotustra_ f.u.c.k.o.f.f
16:56 Jentrep I don't believe in having as much fun as possible
16:56 Jentrep I believe in advancing humanity :)
16:56 Jentrep ;P
16:57 robotustra_ what?
16:57 robotustra_ humans degrade
16:57 robotustra_ because of such aim like you have
16:57 robotustra_ you are trying to solve the task which is already 100 times solved
16:58 Jentrep What task?
16:58 robotustra_ instead of looking for more complex things
16:58 robotustra_ writing driver
16:58 Jentrep Solve a task? :O
16:58 Jentrep I am just learning how Linux Device Drivers are written. :(
16:58 robotustra_ it was already solved
16:58 robotustra_ what for?
16:59 robotustra_ do you have some supertask for this subtask?
16:59 Jentrep For some things I am working on :)
16:59 robotustra_ what things are you working on?
16:59 Jentrep Stuff :)
16:59 robotustra_ what stuff
16:59 robotustra_ share
16:59 Jentrep No >_>
16:59 GuShH_ robotustra_: nice day today http://gushh.net/tmp/dscn4960.jpg
17:00 robotustra_ very nice day indeed
17:00 Jentrep GuShH_: where is that at? :)
17:00 GuShH_ home
17:00 robotustra_ at his backyard
17:01 GuShH_ front yard!
17:01 GuShH_ I got a backyard one somewhere...
17:01 robotustra_ doesn't matter
17:01 Jentrep I mean what country?
17:01 GuShH_ Argentina
17:01 Jentrep Oh cool! :)
17:01 Jentrep i have been getting interested in visiting either Argentina or Chile :)
17:02 robotustra_ Jentrep: if you don't want to talk about your project - what are you doing here?
17:02 Jentrep robotustra_: asking questions :)
17:02 GuShH_ Jentrep: lots more to see in Argentina IMO
17:02 robotustra_ to answer your questions we have to ask yo more questions
17:02 Jentrep GuShH_: I imagine your opinion is biased as well though :P
17:03 Jak_o_Shadows Time to fight with android
17:03 k_o_Shadows s
17:03 GuShH_ Jentrep: nope
17:03 robotustra_ that tree you cut in last year
17:03 GuShH_ been to Chile
17:04 robotustra_ trimmed
17:04 GuShH_ some parts are nice and clean, quite a few nice sights... but other than that it's a thin little turd of a country with lots of bad things
17:04 GuShH_ robotustra_: hahah
17:04 GuShH_ Oh I thought you did a chile joke but you were talking about the tree....
17:04 GuShH_ (Chile is famous for sex change ops)
17:04 robotustra_ hahaha
17:05 Jentrep Lol
17:05 robotustra_ I'm too lazy this winter
17:05 robotustra_ have no desire to work
17:07 GuShH_ you are always lazy!
17:08 robotustra_ you are mixing me with our friens
17:08 robotustra_ you are mixing me with our friend
17:10 GuShH_ MrCurious?
17:10 robotustra_ yes
17:11 Jentrep printk(KERN_ALERT "Yo Lazy fuck!")
17:11 Jentrep printk(KERN_ALERT "s/Yo/You")
17:12 GuShH_ o.o
17:13 robotustra_ Jentrep: so, what's your problem?
17:14 GuShH_ Jentrep: ASL
17:15 GuShH_ IAmNotARobot: yes, yes you are.
17:15 IAmNotARobot :D
17:15 robotustra_ who is it?
17:18 Jentrep bbl :)
17:22 IAmNotARobot ciao
18:59 Jentrep robotustra_: so what problems do you think I (or anyone) should actually be working on then?
18:59 Jentrep ;P
19:00 Jentrep You seem in the mood to reduce things down to their canonical structures :)
19:00 Jentrep i.e. drivers being merely buffer exchanges
19:00 Jentrep So what then, pray tell, would you have us working on? :O
19:00 Jentrep A specific form of robotics?
19:00 Jentrep Synthetic Biology?
19:00 Jentrep Autonomous Vehicles?
19:01 Jentrep Autonomous Drones?
19:01 Jentrep What is that will save an individual from boredom and simultaneously save humanity from worthlessness?
19:01 Jentrep Or do you have no answer?
19:04 MrCurious tough question. what does your heart tell you to work on
19:05 MrCurious work on what makes you happy, for life is too short
19:05 MrCurious and time is the fire in which we burn
19:06 Jentrep Life is not short though
19:06 Jentrep The choices you make could affect generations
19:06 MrCurious piss away 10 or 20 years, then get back to me on that
19:06 Jentrep That's YOUR life still in effect
19:07 Jentrep Ignorance of outcome does not mean that there is none.
19:08 Jentrep I was merely pointing out the great expectations people like robotustra_ may place on others besides their very selves.
19:08 Jentrep Of course, I don't mind having high expectations for myself. :P
19:12 MrCurious so Jentrep, what are you working on
19:13 Jentrep Learning about Linux Device Drivers right now :)
19:13 Jentrep There is a lot of crap on them O_O
19:13 MrCurious yup
19:13 Jentrep Trying to focus on the PCI system :)
19:13 MrCurious learning openstack today
19:13 Jentrep Never heard of it :O
19:13 ntrep goo
19:14 Jentrep building clouds?
19:14 Jentrep For what? :)
19:14 Jentrep Rain?
19:14 Jentrep heeheehee ;P
19:15 MrCurious learning about clouds
19:15 Jentrep idk anything about building clouds :P
19:15 Jentrep but seems like a pretty useful thing to learn :)
19:16 MrCurious there in lies the hope
19:16 Jentrep do you already have plans to utilize it i a project? :)
19:16 Jentrep *in a
19:17 Jentrep so who is Tom_itx ?? :)
19:17 Jentrep oops highlighted him :/
19:19 MrCurious he makes things
19:20 Jentrep Did you read about the google engineer that is making 3 million a year? :O
19:20 MrCurious i did not
19:20 Jentrep People learned about it because a startup offered him a 500k/year position and he turned it down :O
19:20 Jentrep They thought they were going all out for him
19:21 Jentrep I just want to know WTF he does at Google
19:21 Jentrep Or maybe more inportantly WTF he knows about Google that makes them HAVE to keep him
19:21 Jentrep *importantly
19:21 Jentrep apparently his salary is like any other senior engineer
19:21 MrCurious perhaps he knows the secret search recipee
19:21 Jentrep but he gets some sort of equity benefits or something ... not sure exactly
19:22 Jentrep Yeah i am wondering if he has jsut been there long enough to know all there most important algos or something :P
19:22 Jentrep I mean it would be hard for him to just leave and use his knowledge without getting sued by google
19:23 Jentrep but still I imagine he might just be able to do some serious damage to them competitively and they dont want to take that chance?
19:24 Jentrep B/c I KNOW there is no engineer that can code 3 million dollars a year :P
19:24 MrCurious depends how big the ideas are and how revolutionary
19:25 Jentrep well even then ... 3 miilion PER year means they have to have some pretty continously good ideas :P
19:25 Jentrep *million
19:25 Jentrep *continuously
19:26 MrCurious or an idea that brings in more than 3 mil/year
19:26 MrCurious continually
19:27 Jentrep that usually (almost always) will involve getting OTHER engineers involved though :P
19:27 Jentrep I say almost always .. but it really is ALWAYS
19:27 Jentrep An idea that generates that much that continually will def need to be worked on by multiple engineers :P
19:28 MrCurious multiple "comodity" engineers
19:28 Jentrep I honestly can't think of a single engineer/hacker/coder who had an idea they cooked up COMPLETELY on their own that made them tens of millions
19:28 Jentrep Lol maybe
19:28 MrCurious angry birds?
19:28 Jentrep made by ONE guy?
19:28 Jentrep Linux? :P
19:30 MrCurious http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angry_Birds_(video_game)
19:31 MrCurious dev costs 100kE
19:31 MrCurious so maybe 2 dev-years
20:33 MrCurious ladies... the secret to dating... https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1/1381304_10151628683336417_577284469_n.jpg
20:33 Jentrep Lol
20:37 Lola8088 buahahahahahaha
20:54 doomlord_ quake guy?
20:54 doomlord_ doom
20:55 doomlord_ after a lifetime of dedication you might get a big hit
20:55 doomlord_ or have a hit that establishes you to build a business
21:04 Jentrep doomlord_: you talking about the much earlier conversation? :P
21:04 doomlord_ was it much earlier, i see a gap
21:04 doomlord_ ok
21:08 Jentrep :P
21:08 Jentrep doomlord_: so what are your two cents on the matter though? :P
21:08 robotustra_ <Jentrep> robotustra_: so what problems do you think I (or anyone) should actually be working on then?
21:09 robotustra_ Jentrep: of cause AI
21:09 robotustra_ human life is so deterministic
21:09 robotustra_ and predictable
21:09 robotustra_ humans have no fantasy
21:09 Jentrep AI huh? :D
21:10 robotustra_ they just do what science fiction writers wrote
21:10 robotustra_ Artificial intelligence
21:10 Jentrep That's one tough cookie though D:
21:11 robotustra_ so you can't do this?
21:13 Jentrep Hmmm
21:13 ntrep th
21:13 Jentrep AI is so broad and vague
21:13 Jentrep What exactly is the aim? :O
21:13 Jentrep robotustra_: ^
21:14 robotustra_ create AI
21:14 robotustra_ it's the main aim of human beings
21:16 Jentrep Humans ARE AI though :O
21:16 Jentrep Don't you see!
21:16 Jentrep WE aren't anything more than biological machines
21:17 Jentrep if anyone machine has a chance at a near-singularity
21:17 Jentrep It's the human machine itself!
21:17 Jentrep :O
21:17 Jentrep s/anyone/any
21:17 robotustra_ so, humans have just repeat their AI but on the base of silicone life
21:18 robotustra_ I see you know sed
21:18 robotustra_ and probably awk
21:18 robotustra_ and probably regexp
21:18 Jentrep UNIX? :P
21:19 robotustra_ linux?
21:19 Jentrep meh same ting
21:19 Jentrep *thing
21:19 Jentrep ;P
21:23 robotustra_ Jentrep: are you a student?
21:23 Jentrep No :)
21:23 robotustra_ worker?
21:24 Jentrep Lol I guess that's a word to call it :P
21:26 robotustra_ looks that you are a vaginal worker
21:26 robotustra_ I mean female
21:26 robotustra_ vaginal creature
21:28 robotustra_ 100%
21:28 robotustra_ your silence is a good confirmation
21:28 Elleo wtf is wrong with this channel :/
21:28 Jentrep I think robotustra_ is just a troll
21:28 Jak_o_Shadows A wall follower properly should use PID eh.
21:28 Jentrep I tried :(
21:28 robotustra_ wtf wrong with you Elleo
21:28 Jak_o_Shadows also, do ultrasonic sensors die? I have one that doesnt' seem to give reliable readings anymore
21:29 Jentrep did it ever give reliable readings? :P
21:29 Elleo Jak_o_Shadows: I've encountered plenty of dodgy ultrasonic sensors, so I'd suggest yes
21:29 Jak_o_Shadows haha. Yeah, it was a lot better.
21:29 Jentrep I am not sure if they have a lifespan ... I think physical damage should do it in though :P
21:29 Jak_o_Shadows I think i'm going to have to do some more elaborate filtering on em to try and get it better.
21:30 Jentrep Filtering as in buying a new one?
21:30 Jak_o_Shadows ha
21:30 robotustra_ bats use ultrasonc sensors in real life
21:30 robotustra_ very successfuly
21:31 Jak_o_Shadows theirs probably weren't made in china.
21:31 Jak_o_Shadows Probably cost more than $2 as well
21:31 robotustra_ what frequency are these sensors?
21:31 robotustra_ 100k?
21:31 robotustra_ kHz?
21:31 Jak_o_Shadows hang on, i ahve teh dsheet somewhere
21:32 robotustra_ 50 kHz?
21:32 Jak_o_Shadows 40kHz
21:32 robotustra_ 0.008m
21:32 robotustra_ wavelength
21:33 robotustra_ 8mm
21:33 robotustra_ error in distance detection
21:33 Jak_o_Shadows I'm happy with centimeteres to be honest. Problem is the reading jumps up lots
21:34 robotustra_ so do you have electrical filters?
21:34 robotustra_ or is the frequency is floating?
21:35 robotustra_ what are the reflection conditions?
21:35 Jak_o_Shadows No idea. I'm more inclined to think that somehow the signal is getting screwed around in the real world. Bouncing off, echos, ec
21:35 Jentrep robotustra_: y u troll me? D:
21:35 robotustra_ Jentrep: how do you think?
21:36 robotustra_ Jak_o_Shadows: on your place I would make pure experiment
21:36 robotustra_ flat wall and linear displacement
21:37 robotustra_ perpendicular to the wave frint
21:37 robotustra_ front
21:37 Jak_o_Shadows Yeah, just to test it
21:37 Jentrep robotustra_: learn English ;P
21:37 robotustra_ Jentrep: learn russian
21:38 Jentrep robotustra_: nobody cares about Russian :/
21:38 Jentrep So it would be a waste to learn it in modern society :)
21:38 robotustra_ I don't care about inglish as well
21:38 Jentrep Ha! Is that why you spent so many years learning to speak it then?
21:38 robotustra_ only vaginal creatures think so
21:39 Jentrep If you are implying that many females speak English amongst humanity then you would be correct.
21:39 Jentrep A rather interesting conclusion coming from such a tiny-minded creature.
21:39 robotustra_ women just 5 times more talcative then men
21:39 Jentrep robotustra_ just may yet have hope.
21:40 robotustra_ becasue of brain construction
21:40 Tom_itx let's not start another war tonight ehh?
21:40 robotustra_ Tom_itx: :)
21:40 Jentrep OH LOL robotustra_ thinks that because my name containes the characters 'Jen' that I am a women.
21:40 Jentrep What a worthless fool. ;)
21:40 robotustra_ I don't care about your nickname
21:40 Tom_itx i don't assume anything on irc
21:40 Jentrep robotustra_: just accept what you are. :)
21:40 robotustra_ I derived it from your behaviour
21:41 Jentrep robotustra_: Haha! The retreat!
21:41 Jentrep Put up your defences robotustra_
21:41 Jentrep You lost. ;)
21:41 Jentrep This is why you had to learn English in the first place. :)
21:41 Jentrep hehe ;P
21:41 robotustra_ if you would know russian "robotustra" is also has feminine ending of the word
21:42 Jentrep I don't give a fuck about 'knowing' russian. :0
21:42 Jentrep Have I not made this clear? :/
21:42 robotustra_ I have no chance to learn it and I don't care
21:42 Jak_o_Shadows If I were to learn a language, it would be Japanese
21:42 Jentrep Well, I guess if you understood English then that would have been clear. :)
21:42 robotustra_ иди в жопу, слышишь?
21:42 robotustra_ заебала тупая пизда
21:42 Jentrep robotustra_: no one gives a fuck about your greek-based alphabet
21:43 Jak_o_Shadows To be honest, i'm surprised my irc client can pick that up fine.
21:43 Jentrep robotustra_: go find another fucking planet :)
21:43 robotustra_ because you use UTF-8
21:43 robotustra_ :)
21:44 Elleo so... robots are cool aren't they.
21:44 robotustra_ sure
21:44 Jak_o_Shadows Yeah. I did the mechanical bit of the front bump sensor for mine today
21:45 robotustra_ Jak_o_Shadows: show your robot
21:47 Jak_o_Shadows https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/104809629/foryou.png I've changed a few things, the big front wheel has been replaced by 2 continous servos, the rear wheel is now a caster, and instead of the fork bar at the front there is a robot arm and bump sensor
21:47 robotustra_ one driving wheel?
21:48 Jak_o_Shadows It was. Steering wasn't satisfactory (speed was). Replaced that with dual contious servos
21:48 Jentrep Jak_o_Shadows: and the sound sensor was for??
21:48 Jak_o_Shadows Picking up walls/objects
21:50 Jentrep Jak_o_Shadows: how many?
21:50 Jak_o_Shadows one facing down so it can pick up stairs and such.
21:51 Jak_o_Shadows Well, they're well suited to multiplexing and the like, but I have 4 of them.
21:51 robotustra_ Jak_o_Shadows: how many wheels it has now?
21:51 Jak_o_Shadows 2 drive wheels at the front, a caster wheel at the back
21:52 Jentrep Jak_o_Shadows: is this just for fun? :P
21:52 Jak_o_Shadows yep
21:52 Jak_o_Shadows I've got some ideas about doing SLAM eventually
21:52 Jentrep :p
21:53 robotustra_ Jak_o_Shadows: why did you decided to make such construction?
21:53 robotustra_ I mean, what is the distance between wheels?
21:53 Jak_o_Shadows In this layout? The original steering wheels were that width, and I wanted to fit a breadboard and some payload.
21:54 Jak_o_Shadows Um, the frame is 110 wide, the wheel centre distance is 150, the wheelbase (along the robot) is 270ish
21:55 Jentrep payload? o:o
21:55 Jak_o_Shadows Robot arm. It has plenty of space on the inside for stuff as well.
21:55 Jak_o_Shadows mostly batteries or electronics stuff I suppose
21:56 Jentrep You gunna open source your work? :D
21:56 Jentrep Make a video or blog or something later? :)
21:56 Jak_o_Shadows why not.
21:56 robotustra_ because I saw on youtube the explanation that the optimal placement of wheels for 3 wheeled robots is a isosceles triangle with right angle
21:57 Jak_o_Shadows Haven't done so much yet.
21:57 Jak_o_Shadows aye, yeah, that allows you to turn better, and to have better control of turn angle
21:57 robotustra_ yes
21:58 robotustra_ but you chose your own way
21:58 Jak_o_Shadows It's more that I've modified it. Orignally speed was a much bigger factor
21:59 robotustra_ 4 wheel?
21:59 Jentrep Speed! :D
21:59 robotustra_ why didn't you use 4 wheels?
21:59 Jentrep what's the recognition/reaction time on this thing? :D
21:59 Jak_o_Shadows Didn't have 2 of the big motors
22:00 robotustra_ hm
22:00 robotustra_ so you are doing robot from sticks and shit?
22:01 Jak_o_Shadows and dirt-cheap ebay stuff
22:01 robotustra_ what's your budget?
22:01 Jak_o_Shadows I've spent about $40 so far, mostly on the servos.
22:02 robotustra_ not much
22:02 Jak_o_Shadows I should replace the current stuff with http://www.pololu.com/product/114, and a couple of motors
22:03 robotustra_ I just spent $120 on 3d sensor
22:03 robotustra_ these japaneese reductions are not bad
22:03 robotustra_ I have one
22:04 robotustra_ so, fun costs money
22:05 robotustra_ big fun costs a lot of money
22:06 robotustra_ Huston goes to bed
22:07 Jak_o_Shadows Yeah, i've seen one before, it seemed to work well
22:10 Jentrep you should use thermocouples and stick the bot in a room lined with heated walls
22:10 Jentrep xD
22:10 Jak_o_Shadows I have some thermistors i've been meaning to look at
22:11 robotustra_ very stange locomotion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tD3dsDzbeg&list=PL23781C5376A8F666
22:13 Jak_o_Shadows I got to play with some big mechanum wheels the other day.
22:13 Jak_o_Shadows 200mm+diameter.
22:14 Jak_o_Shadows They definitely have a preferred direction
22:15 robotustra_ omg, anunnaki came after me
22:16 robotustra_ anunnaki: kurva
22:18 robotustra_ Festo
22:19 Jak_o_Shadows Festo makes an ornithopter
22:19 robotustra_ I know
22:19 robotustra_ I was working on mine either
22:19 Jak_o_Shadows You have a festo ornithopter?
22:19 robotustra_ but I didn't finish it
22:20 robotustra_ no I did more like dragonlfy
22:20 robotustra_ 4 whings
22:20 Jak_o_Shadows ah, ok
22:20 robotustra_ wings
22:20 robotustra_ but I didn't finish it
22:21 Jak_o_Shadows Yeah, i'm playing with one with membrane wings, just up and down.
22:21 Jak_o_Shadows Not jointed like the festo ones
22:21 robotustra_ does it fly?
22:22 Jak_o_Shadows I think it will. Haven't test it yet
22:23 robotustra_ I have to make wings
22:23 robotustra_ and do static test
22:23 robotustra_ I want to get a lift with 0 forward velocity
22:23 Jak_o_Shadows I don't think I'll get that. I'll test static lift this week
22:24 Jak_o_Shadows I'll see if I can determine static lift vs. motor speed
22:24 robotustra_ how do you measure the lift?
22:24 Jak_o_Shadows Borrowed a 6dof strain gauge platform
22:25 robotustra_ nice
22:29 robotustra_ why sarcos robot didn't participate in DARPA challenge?
22:35 robotustra_ what is it for? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck5K0A6RZgM&list=PL148BEA8277BA0A68
22:48 robotustra_ robo porn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-O8-N71Qcw&list=PL148BEA8277BA0A68
23:18 robotustra_ Jak_o_Shadows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMlM3FlXkfo&list=PL148BEA8277BA0A68
23:20 Jak_o_Shadows cool
23:31 robotustra_ so you can do something like this
23:38 robotustra_ not bad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv7xv2iX0zQ&list=PLADA2017E83C13334
