That is ROB

Damn kids

 

I'm done posting here anyway. I do appreciate the insights I've gained though. Take care, sorry for all the trouble.

 

My NES had the robot. It was the Gyromite game pack. If I remember correctly we broke it pretty quick.

 

Dang

It looked cool as hell, but I remember seeing the Powerglove being advertised like crazy instead of the Robot

It's a good thing the "Are you a robot?" question is still reliable. Like asking a hooker if they're a cop, they can't lie...right??

 

It was but I think the glove came after. The robot was one of the 1st add-ons. I never had the glove but always wanted it.

 

I'm convinced the newer picture-based captcha, "select all images with a bicycle" style, isn't for human identification and is just being used to train self-driving car algorithms

 

"Or the FCR for short"

I normally skip intros but that was legit, but damn didn't know the robot was that terrible

 

@Bandido

My replacement Z axis assembly arrived with a broken part. Since it was after hours (they're CST) I just sent them an email asking if I should send it back or if they just want me to cannibalize it and use the new parts on my old assembly.

Today, the email response is "we'll send another", but also to go ahead and take parts off to rebuild my old one.

All from a simple inquiry a week back when I asked to send me a parts invoice for anything I'd need to purchase for rebuilding my own.



So, by next week I'll have a 3rd one of these

 

and if you need something custom let me know

 

I wonder if they realized how well this scene was going to age back when it was filmed

But now you have extra stepper motors to make something fun out of

 

Actually have 2 extra stepper motors already, excluding these extras shown in the pic above

When my friend got his 5' x 10', he let me have his extra parts from his table.

What fun shenanigans should I pull off with these? The drivers used are only $10 from Amazon.

 

I dunno, a driver board and an arduino and you can make all sorts of stuff.

 

@Sperrunner

That miniature excavator?

It reached double it's goal in just a few hours of day 1 ($25k goal, it was almost $50k immediately after going live).

Crazy part is I just got this email. Guess all the money it was bringing in brought up a dispute - https://www.kickstarter.com/project...=ksr_email_backer_hidden_project_for_takedown

 

Some Monday motivation
