Well, good news everybody! I have managed to get a team of people together that are willing to pool resources together for construction of a high energy supersonic Golf Ball cannon, complete with remote electrical control and operation. The Cannon will feature complete autonomous reloading of the barrel. I will have to create large quantites of gun cotton, otherwise known as nitrocellulose. Nitrocellulose has been used as a propellant and explosive for many years.

And there goes my  hard drive :/

Hey guys, I was thinking of making a binary clock. I don't want this to end up being the typical Dent work- I want this to be good looking and long lasting. It's going to be hung up on one of our walls, so I must be very precise.

Right now, I'm trying to find the right parts. I'll be spending my parent's money after all, so I want this to stay cheap (but still look good!) and I wanna get all the right parts the first time around. 

I've been cooking up a new Platform Module - this is the Propeller Platform SD.  First the basics;

This is my entry for the scavenger challenge. This robot was made from random idems I found around the house. It is worth mentioning that this cost $0. This robot was built to clean around the house.This robot has serious tork, that was a pair of snow pants. It pulled that with no problem.

Parts used

• R/c toy Abrams Tank
• Clothes Pin
• Duck Tape
• Toy handcugg peices
• nerf vulcan ammo box lid
• lego peices
• broken r/c toy antenna

 

 

Abram r/c Tank

So, I'm new here and thought I would start out with a blog. I'm an electrical engineering major at Clemson University trying to get into a robotics technical depth. I've been looking around this site and many others for the past couple weeks to try and get some more hands on experience than I have been getting in the class room. Last week, I finally took the plunge and started buying some robotics equipment. It seems like I have found a pretty expensive hobby.

Saw this in the Parallax forums (Thread), it's called the PropPad mini, and it's a Propeller with a nice hi-res tft display.  Looks like tripp has a few for sale, too - they're $100 which sounds pretty fair to me.

 

 

 

Hey all :)

 I'm new to LMR been browsing here for the past week or so and loving it! So I thought I might post a blog entry telling you all a bit about myself and what I have planned in the future for my robotics projects :)

About Me

This doesn't really have anything to do with robots, but can you boot a PC from two RAIDed together 4gb flash drives? I'm thinking of doing some hackintoshing, but I don't have a >8gb USB flash drive. Thanks!
