[00:14:43] <z64555> eh, control system isn't the issue. it's the actuators
[00:15:01] <z64555> (which could be argued as part as the control system)
[00:15:02] <rue_house> thats why pneumatic muscles
[00:15:22] <z64555> well, hell, even a pneumatic actuator would have difficulty moving tons of steel
[00:15:49] <rue_house> I recon 1.5 to 2 tonnes
[00:16:41] <z64555> hm
[00:16:56] <z64555> If they could do something like fencing, it would be safe-ish
[00:18:03] <rue_house> dude, look at the money they put into those, neither party wants to wreck them
[00:32:36] <rue_bed> that looks like it weighs 3kg
[00:32:43] <rue_bed> veverak,
[00:39:55] <anonnumberanon> i just started a new jerb
[00:40:14] <anonnumberanon> now im looking for a home but i want space to build stuff in it(and outside)
[00:41:43] <anonnumberanon> i like to work on cars but it's not as nice as robots and rockets
[01:04:22] <z64555> so a garage is a must, or otherwise a hackerspace
[01:05:17] <z64555> You could repurpose a bedroom to be a workshop, but that limits your work to less fun/messy jobs
[01:46:50] <anonnumberanon> yeah i could do a one bedroom, sleep in the living room and make the room a shop with cnc
[01:46:55] <anonnumberanon> no car stuff though
[01:47:02] <anonnumberanon> if car stuff then i need a carport
[01:47:08] <anonnumberanon> or better a garage
[01:47:18] <anonnumberanon> ill try to get a loan for that tomorrow
[02:55:20] <z64555> well, I was thinking along the lines of saving the carpet from liquids, and excessive amounts of dry swarf from the cnc and other millwork tools
[03:21:34] <anonnumberanon> yes, yes those are all good points
[03:22:04] <anonnumberanon> i could settle for a less comfortable place and have more manly stuff in it like space to craft shit
[04:29:38] <veverak> rue_bed: you mean my shell?
[04:29:50] <veverak> it's really light
[10:58:38] <rue_bed> k, it looks heavy
[10:58:43] <rue_bed> what did you model it with?
[10:59:26] <rue_bed> its gonna be sunny today
[10:59:29] <rue_bed> huh
[11:05:55] <veverak> scad
[11:06:06] <veverak> and it looks heavy, but is actually light
[11:06:15] <veverak> http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1838993
[11:06:48] <veverak> rue_bed: idea was to make big volume with small weight
[11:07:01] <veverak> I think making honeycomb pattern was good choice ;)
[12:17:34] <rue_shop3> hmm I was carrying a box
[12:17:43] <rue_shop3> I'm currently not carrying a box
[12:18:04] <rue_shop3> where did my box go
[12:25:38] <robopal> retrace your steps, it must be somewhere along the path
[18:04:39] <anonnumberanon> sitting on it? classic
