Best of luck this season! Reefscape looks like a fun and challenging game.

I have more robot parts to manufacture. I'm a CAM noob and I broke 2 CNC bits yesterday. But today's a new day!

Oh that's great! I started this project today to improve my skills: The blue robot is named Plowie and is used in FTC game reveal videos. Seems like some straight forward geometry to practice with.

(My robotics team uses OnShape - it is web based and free for education)
Whichever software you use get an understanding of the available tools. I went through each tool in the menu bar to know what it does.

Then I looked at existing CAD designs. OnShape has a lot of public documents.
Good luck!

We had a two hour drive so spent the whole time brainstorming a robotics event. Lots of good ideas, but everything hinges on a venue.

Can’t wait to start contacting places in new year!

I started a new job last month that has winter break Dec 18th to Jan 6th and I don’t know what to do with all this free time.

J/K! πŸ˜‚

I guess that’s one way to solve a center of gravity issue in your robot.

My heart is full today after spending most nights this week hanging out with robotics kids. ❀️

It’s been a crazy busy exhausting time but it’s so much fun!

I’m so proud of the kids creativity and tenacity!

The imagery and emotion of the prose is fantastic. That it’s sci-Fi is even better!

During holidays I go into super organization mode. Today I designed, CAD, and manufactured two shelve extensions off my homemade shelving unit.

These will hold Bambu AMS in a very accessible place.

I love how the hardboard looks like leather.

I’ve been using GitHub copilot for a while. It’s mid. Good suggestions about 60% of the time.

Might take Jetbrains version for a spin.

I’m setting up a #robot workflow and need a platform that runs Python.

I have a few Circuit Playgrounds sitting idle so I’m starting with these.

Next I’ll work on power, servo control (I have one Adafruit CRICKIT), and remote control.

Today's been a CAD day. I'm designing a cabinet for my CNC to try to contain dust and chips.

I've never designed carpentry projects in CAD so this is a first for me!

I had to wait 10 hours for a flight so I started a new Laravel project.

Going to be a TALL stack and my first time using Flux.

Excited to give it a test drive!
