Jeff Sampson's Earth Explorer has a new auxiliary power trailer. (Due to the crappy batteries inside.) |
Bill Arden brought these power meters. We took the Atmel processor boards out. |
The wheel out of the meters make great tops. |
Bill Arden has a new laser engraving system. |
This is a plaque he made. |
This is a fish that he made. |
We have a new trend, lounging around with the robots. |
And it caught on and someone decided to lounge with RackBot. |
Someone was discussing mapping. |
And someone was discussing power drivers. |
Bill is so crazy he took RackBot into Applebee's after the meeting. |
Here he is explaining how it works to the manager. |
We moved RackBot to the head of the table so it could join in the conversation. |
