I think it is unlikely that they will change things enough to make swerve less competitive. Teams and retailers would revolt. And they certainly won't change from carpet as a base. They've been clear about that.

Según Google, Onshape es compatible con esa tableta, pero es posible que en ensamblajes grandes o al mostrar mucha geometría compleja, la velocidad de renderizado y la velocidad de fotogramas disminuyan notablemente.

Uh, aren't all sports made up?

I'm genuinely interested in this product for my job, and would potentially purchase a dozen of them. But I'm absolutely not going to "call for pricing". Please at least give me a "prices start at $____".

Normalize pricing transparency. Or even translucency.

Seriously do this. They're beautifully restored and maintained TCRT streetcars, several of which were built right here (in Saint Paul where Allianz Field is now. You get a conductor/driver who will tell you all sorts of fascinating history, and the right of way it runs through is beautiful.

This metro area used to be crisscrossed by public transit in the form of streetcars, until they were taken over and shut down, tracks torn up, streetcars torched, by interests seeking to sell the city on buses - A tragedy that befell many US metros in that era. There are very few other places in the country where you can actually ride these beautiful museum pieces. Do it while you're here. You won't regret it.

well, no. There are probably hundreds if not thousands of buttons out there, and there are probably a dozen manufacturers who each make a dozen very similar versions of the same button in your Limelight, but with slight tweaks (slightly taller plunger, different color, more actuation force, etc) so no one on the internet is going to be able to tell you exactly what button that is. I would not be looking on amazon for a replacement if you don't know what you're looking for. Start somewhere like Digikey.com where you can successively hone your search based on the many filters you can apply. More importantly, you can trust what digikey is saying about it's product listings, but you certainly cannot trust amazon sellers to be clear, unambiguous and honest about what they're selling (at least when it comes to tiny little buttons/switches like this.

Also, I think you can flash the firmware/OS without needing that reset button. read the documentation carefully, I think you can do it through the Limelight Hardware Manager.

You are missing a little metal frisbee-like disc. It's the thing that gets pushed down on by your blue button there and creates the "snap" tactile feeling when you press the button. It also is the thing that closes the switch. If you're lucky, it's still somewhere inside your limelight case or somewhere close by. If it's gone, you're probably going to need to replace that button altogether. How often are you expecting needing to use it?

Sure! Good luck finding something that fits right! You're certainly not the only one looking for a catch-all solution that isn't Fusion.

There's just not much else out there that measures up to Fusion's CAM offering as far as CAM packages integrated into a full-blooded CAD platform. Autodesk has thrown their weight (and cash) around and acquired a handful of smaller CAM systems and integrated them all into their own platform (HSMWorks, Delcam, Netfabb, CAMplete most notably) and Onshape is one studio of developers rolling their own from scratch. The lead Fusion has is significant (and they've got Autodesk dollars to burn).

The biggest standalone CAM players are (you probably know):

• Mastercam - ($10-15k and assume 10-15% of that per year for subscription)
• SprutCAM X - Around $250/mo or 8-20k for perpetual.
• GibbsCAM - $550/yr for basic only
• NXCAM - $2k/yr

See also: BobCAD, SolidCAM, PowerMill, hyperMILL, ESPRITE.

All my cost estimates are basically wild-ass guesses, do your own research.

That's totally fair. I didn't mean to suggest that you should be struggling through with a toolchain that isn't working for you, only that I've got confidence that the toolchain will improve quickly. Heck, I don't use it yet. I'm still transferring files over to Fusion to use that CAM ecosystem. It's great, with the caveats that I'm moving files (and revisions of those files) over to Fusion to generate CAM for them, and that Fusion is additional cost (covered by my employer - so I don't have to worry about that part).

Fusion is my favorite hands down, but I'm very familiar with it.

You probably know this already, but in case you didn't: The OnShape CAM Studio is in Beta presently. It's in active development, and they've made it available to paid tiers and specific classroom tiers (FIRST Robotics Competition teams among them). I don't mean to be a total fanboy about it, but the OnShape team is pushing new features, improvements, and bug fixes faster than any other CAD developer I've ever seen, and the CAM Studio is one of their biggest focuses from what I've seen.

This isn't to say your concerns aren't valid, just to urge you to hang in there while they get CAM Studio finished to the standards of the rest of the OnShape ecosystem.

I loved the video! I'm a mentor/parent from 2491 NoMythic - also in Galileo, also made the playoffs, also had repair after repair after repair to pull of every single match. I realized when I looked up 449 on TBA that we lost our final playoff match against 449's alliance. What a wild ride it all was! So many phenomenal robots, so much carnage.

Your video certainly takes the cake production wise, but I figured I'd share with you the recap video I cut together of NoMythic's season since you were so generous to share yours.

Cheers!

For the love of God, get the miso fried chicken. You're welcome.

I live in South Minneapolis near powderhorn. My commute path isusually 35W - 494 - hwy 212 - ending where hwy 5 splits off as arboretum blvd. That commute is usually about 30 minutes, but could be ten minutes faster or slower depending on traffic. 494 will eternally be under construction. 62 crosstown will always be packed. You will be going WITH traffic on either path unless you are driving to/from work outside of normal rush hour.

These are great for FRC robot wayfinding/navigation via QuestNav.

In my region at least, event volunteers and organizers are predominantly made up of alumni and mentors of teams in this region - people who want to continue being a part of the sport and the community or grow their engagement. Regional event simply wouldn't happen without them. They key volunteers in our region who mentor alongside me on my team conduct themselves with remarkable professionalism and avoid situations in which bias could be perceived (not serving as head ref for matches including our team, calling in second opinions when such situations cannot be avoided etc).

What exactly did you witness or have related to you?

Last night I discovered that 3D fit splines are the answer to making cam follower/pin in slot sliders follow a profile correctly with tangent propagation. I was struggling with a pin slot combo that I couldn't get to follow both a straight line and then the tangential curve after it, and converting those two line segments into one 3D fit spline ended up being the way to get the pin to follow smoothly. It was irritating to get it to work overall though, And first and foremost I was trying to work around a broken feature. Tangent propigation was not behaving as expected.

I'm just guessing here. And this is a generalization.

I suspect it's because pass scanning takes time, and metro transit wants to avoid bottlenecks. In the morning, headed into downtown for example, there will be more distributed boarding events and a smaller amount of very concentrated disembarking events. Many people getting off at once. Making all of those people getting off at once scan that moment will create a slow down/bottleneck.

In the afternoon, The reverse is true. Concentrated boarding events at downtown hubs, and distributed disembarking events. It would cause a slow down/ bottleneck if that large group of people at the hub had to scan their passes all at once. It ends up taking much less time cumulatively for a smaller number of people to scan their passes at each of the distributed drop-off points.

Neenah Foundry?

The "can't catch" rule appears to specifically and explicitly address handling of fuel that has just exited the hub. It starts with language saying as much. I think it would be unwise to assume that any of the restrictions described in this rule apply for anything beyond fuel that has just exited the hub.

A fuel shot by a robot, for example, is decidedly not exiting the hub.

There may be other rules that exclude catching, but I don't think this one does.

You nailed it. Some of my most formative memories as an adolescent a teenager and a "Level Zero Adult" happened that magical place. I wouldn't trade them for the world. Hands down the best summer camp in the state. I've spent time at plenty others to which I can compare it. Obviously I'm biased, but it's a hidden gem to be sure.

I worked for over a decade at a YMCA summer camp almost exactly a mile north of this gas station. I have walked through those doors across three different franchise owners. I've bought hundreds of bottles of Souix City Sarsaparilla there. I've stoppes there on days off, and on on nights off to stock up on caffeine and processed sugar.

Now as an adult, I stop there on my way to the boundary waters, or on my way to pick up/drop off my son who now goes to the same camp and may very well work there next summer.

It's weird to feel an affinity towards a rural gas station, but I can't deny it. I've had a lot of memories in that tiny building.

Much love to you, 66 a.k.a. Orange Nasty a.k.a. Short Stop.

I have done this to a "Pro-sumer" grade printer. I upgraded a Type A Machines Series 1 Pro to run Klipper, to have better belting, 0.9 degree steppers, and a Voron Stealthburner tool head with tool head PCB and umbilical (canbus).

It turned a near obsolete machine into a printer equal to about a P1S in terms of speed and performance. It's still getting almost daily use and we've got a H2D sitting next to it. It keeps up.

It being discontinued is part of why I upgraded it. It had proprietary ribbon cables in place of cable chains to get signal and power out to the tool head, and they weren't going to be able to supply those replacements anymore. And I'd already seen two of them fail and replaced them before. Also it was being driven by a Marlin ecosystem that was not taking advantage of how light and fast the machine was capable of going. I basically quadrupled the speed at which that machine could print by upgrading. Ymmv, but if you're excited about the project, it'll for sure pay off eventually. You'll feel like Dr Frankenstein The first time you print with the upgraded machine. Like you've raised the dead.

Go get 'em.

It's unfortunately pretty common for both bathroom and kitchen vent fans to vent into an attic or crawlspace. Why, you ask? Because people (whether it be the homeowner, the handy person, or the builder) are lazy and shortsighted and cheap.
