[14:59:32]<robotustra> diff today yesterday
[15:01:17]<z64555> yes, today is a different yesterday
[15:02:20]<robotustra> any robonews?
[15:08:08]<z64555> rue's fiddling with his CNCs, had some newer folk around - one's trying to make a robot arm and the other is trying things with a PID controlled differential drive
[15:08:54]<robotustra> how many DOF arm?
[15:11:49]* z64555 pokes justanotheruser [15:14:33]<robotustra> somebody asked me to give them my robot arm design
[15:19:29]<robotustra> 24 DOF
[17:44:51]<justanotheruser> z64555
[17:45:08]<justanotheruser> who u
[17:45:38]<justanotheruser> arm will be 3dof then will be on a rail so 4

[19:01:50]<z64555> I've lurked here longer than you. :D
[19:02:02]<z64555> and I'm also an electrical engineering graduate
[19:37:39]<rue_house> hehe
[19:38:06]<rue_house> haha! I have little balls!
[19:38:11]<rue_house> finally they arrived
[19:38:23]<rue_house> er, ball bearings!...
[19:40:31]<z64555> well, I wasn't going to say anything
[19:40:36]<z64555> but then I did
[19:42:36]<Tom_itx> braggin about little balls...
[19:42:39]<Tom_itx> i swear
[19:43:00]<Snert_> and greasy balls at that.
[19:43:12]<Tom_itx> get em from vxb or whatever they're called?
[19:51:14]<Tom_itx> holy crap... looking at their site you can actually get a 36" ball
[19:52:23]<Tom_itx> it's only $1384.00
[19:53:53]<Tom_itx> decorative... it's hollow
[19:54:05]<malcom2073_> how'd they do t hat?
[19:54:13]<Tom_itx>http://www.vxb.com/36-inch-Mirror-Finished-Stainless-Steel-Shiny-Ball-p/loose-hollow-ss304-36-inch.htm [19:54:33]<malcom2073_> 39lb, it'd have to be
[19:56:00]<Tom_itx> i wouldn't wanna pay shipping on it if it were solid
[19:56:30]<orlock> Could be worse
[19:56:31]<malcom2073_> Do some math, figure out how much that'd weigh? :)
[19:56:40]<Tom_itx> catia could tell me
[19:56:43]<orlock> What if it was magnetic too?
[19:56:44]<Tom_itx> or sw probably
[19:56:47]<malcom2073_> Google too
[19:56:58]<Tom_itx> you'd need the alloy
[19:57:01]<orlock> and 36" r or d or p?
[19:57:02]<Tom_itx> i didn't look for it
[19:57:28]<Tom_itx> d i presume
[19:58:04]<malcom2073_> 1181lbs
[19:58:30]<malcom2073_> I would;'ve expected more
[19:58:32]<Tom_itx> wire that to your alarm system as a driveway deterrent
[19:58:39]<Tom_itx> park it at the top of your kid's slide
