02:17 wolfmanjm only saw the first battle, but wow kinetic energy rules ;)
02:18 wolfmanjm my little plastic robots wouldn't last long ;)
02:19 wolfmanjm can you imagine, spending that much time and money on a robot and have it totally smashed to bits in a few minutes ;)

02:45 deshipu wolfmanjm: I suppose a cube of solid steel would at least draw in every match
03:07 mrdata 1 m^3 steel masses about 8 tonnes, doesnt it?
03:08 mrdata would a fire safe fare well?
09:26 rue_house it might exceed the weight class
09:49 cambazz hello, i just finished implementing a pid motor controller with an encoder, and all is fine and i am tuning it. i was wondering tradeoffs between low and high resolution pwm. 0 to 4095 certainly works bettern than 0 to 255 but maybe i could get away with 0 to 1023. also what would be optimal update time for pid algoritm? i am doing 100msec at the moment.
09:52 deshipu I guess it all depends what it is used for.
