08:56 deshipu although only 2 degrees of freedom per leg :(
10:29 Orpheon So now I have ~20 small servos and an arduino
10:29 Orpheon are there any cool projects to try with that?
10:29 Orpheon *does anyone happen to have links to ...
10:37 veverak deshipu: ^^
10:37 veverak :D
10:38 veverak Orpheon: deshipu made this awesome walking robots
10:38 Orpheon he's the one who recommended me to get the servos
10:38 Orpheon yeah
10:38 Orpheon I have his link /somewhere/ but had trouble finding it
10:38 Orpheon still somewhat in the dark as to what to use for frame/structure
10:39 Orpheon just taping servos together only goes so far
10:39 Orpheon I have 3d printers available, is using those worth it?
10:39 Orpheon or should I go for something else?
14:58 Orpheon Hello
15:16 blib hi Orpheon
16:20 delinquentme anyone in here have experience with wall drawing robots? Im looking for something cheap that will let me draw large ( 20ft x 10ft wall murals )
16:48 SpeedEvil Do you mean outlines, or painted?
17:49 delinquentme SpeedEvil, just outlines would be amazing ... suggestions?
17:56 SpeedEvil I don't know of canned solutions
17:57 SpeedEvil The quetion would first be - how accurate?
17:57 SpeedEvil Solutions like two steppers, with reels can work - but they are not going to be very accurate due to line sag and other stuff without closing the loop
20:36 rue_shop3 ohohoh I worked out a great thing today
20:37 rue_shop3 the two fingers on the 12' mecha hand dont have to be able to cup
20:37 rue_shop3 if it were a 5 fingered hand the outter two would need to, but a 3 digit hand dosn't
20:37 zhanx can it pickup an egg
20:37 rue_shop3 its got one finger so far, shall I show you?
20:38 rue_shop3 ;)
20:38 zhanx i can pick up an egg with one figner
20:38 rue_shop3 point being, I can make the wrist joint and weld them right to it
20:38 zhanx yep
20:38 rue_shop3 I was musing that with its capacity, it cant lift you one handed
20:38 zhanx i would stomp on it
20:39 zhanx and we know me stomping on stuff
20:39 rue_shop3 wondering if you could lift it, but I dont think so, its gonna land between 1000-2000lbs I'm sure
20:39 rue_shop3 indeed
20:39 rue_shop3 'just stay away from the boots'
20:39 zhanx i can pickup half
20:39 zhanx if on the low side
20:40 rue_shop3 I need to make a timing chain breaker
20:40 rue_shop3 next...
20:40 zhanx tomorrow
20:40 rue_shop3 after I find space for this stuff
20:40 zhanx I am happy my lcd fit. means i can fit this in a normal box
