hey can’t hang out with the robots anymore
6:50 Miaximus: The demon of live demons
6:50 Jac_Goudsmit: junk ftw
6:50 fightcube: as long as they work
6:50 zool: haha nice
6:50 socket11: I love the duck tape!
6:50 hjohnson_1: Ahh, if he’s not doing CNC routing, not as much torque needed.
6:50 scott-42: From Clay http://sharpmemorylcd.com/1-35-inch-memory-lcd.html
6:51 hammerhead74k: Suggestion: switch to leadscrews. 1/4-20 allthread and steel T-nuts from the hardware store work.
6:51 scott-42: The 3V only parts are just sampling now (p/n: LS013B4DN04), but the 3V/5V combo parts are available to purchase (Mouser has ’em– p/n: LS013B4DN02)
6:51 LapsusAntepedis: Testing
6:52 usunoro: hi lapsus
6:52 LapsusAntepedis: Hi ๐Ÿ˜€
6:52 Jac_Goudsmit: lol improvised show and tell
6:52 scott-42: Ask Chris to show the big bot and have it talk. ๐Ÿ™‚
6:52 rsbohn: hey that’s cool

6:54 Nashblackcat: $20 bucks ?!?!
6:54 Nashblackcat: ๐Ÿ™‚
6:54 socket11: cool
6:55 hammerhead74k: I’ve got one around here… somewhere…
6:55 mjusticz: Protip: for a better chance at the contest, refresh the stream a minute or two before it begins, so you get a stream without lag
6:55 forsetifox: Awww.
6:56 socket11: Beer run!!!
6:56 zool: lol
6:56 scott-42: @socket11 I like where you head it at. Good call.
6:56 fightcube: Protip… lol
6:56 bigbodynobrain: so what did people think of my cnc?
6:56 jkCBWPnet: @hammerhead was that to me? lol

Isn't that sad. 7:15 ransomhall-1: gpt my ponoko order coming monday, cant wait! 7:15 socket11: Darpa loves hackers! 7:15 AngrySpinach: What did I miss? 7:15 mjusticz: ramson: what'd you order? 7:16 mryan923: Would any one like to start a hackerspace in NH? 7:16 daidny: The closest hackerspace for me is 3 hours away :/ 7:16 clothbot: RobotGrrl: not specifically artengine, but a few of us are. 7:16 bigbodynobrain: nearest hackerspace in Washington DC 7:16 RobotGrrl: clothbot: nice! i'll be in contact with you about that :O 7:16 jkCBWPnet: pgh baby im 3 min away 7:16 fightcube: mjusticz - I tried to learn AI, but back then a few years ago it couldn't snap to objects and nodes and dynamic nodes... but I guess now it can... ^_^ 7:16 clothbot: RobotGrrl: sounds like a plan! 7:16 jkCBWPnet: tuesday night is on makerbots reprap etc 7:16 DrenBoy: wonder if instructable s/w will be like wikis hehe 7:17 mryan923: Oh boy 7:17 hammerhead74k: "Tea.

7:18 AngrySpinach: Invent?
7:18 ericwertz: there’s a sign like that a few blocks away from me in San Jose
7:18 mryan923: its cool
7:18 DrenBoy: OMFG!!!!!

7:19 Hooloovoo: I just downloaded that app today
7:19 RobotGrrl: it is awesome
for iPad?
7:20 mryan923: Q: Will Adafruit be @ NYC Makerfaire
7:20 georgegraves: http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2011/08/03/circuit-sidekick-for-ipad/

7:20 ktownsend: electrodroid is pretty amazing for Android
7:20 lominsky-1: i’ve always thought google goggles should recognize resistors
7:20 georgegraves: http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2011/07/31/github-badges-adafruit/

7:21 addidis: gotta switch to headphones brb
7:21 hammerhead74k: The problem with resistor color codes is that the colors vary in hue…
7:21 AngrySpinach: Electronics Assistant is great
7:21 mryan923: you will
7:22 AlbertStraub: I wonder why they never dumped the color code and just printed the numbers on? I mean SMD resistors have the numbers printed on. The color code must be from the days when you couldn’t print fast.
7:22 mryan923: git hub is messed up on my computer
7:22 AngrySpinach: Dear Mr Jobs…
7:22 macman320: lol
