The Life of Charles: Untold Tales of February Through Now-ish; BattleBots, Markforg3d, 2.00Battleship, and Chibi-Mikuvan Upgrades

chorl7 Comments

Isn’t it sad that the last meaningful post on this site was in February? I think it’s a travesty. A combination of perfect storm factors has overwhelmed even my blogging habits. I’m kind of like the Waffle House test of blogging – if even I stopped blogging, you know some shit went down. And I do have some very interesting news to report. In no particular order of criticality or intensity, I present…

  1. The extent of what I can say about Battlebots on ABC before the season premier!
  2. I got a new shiny thing, a MarkForg3D Mark One continuous-filament 3d printer!
  3. Porting (heh) 2.00gokart to the water: The making of 2.00Battleship for this summer’s SUTD program.
  4. When it’s not robot season, it’s go-kart season. Time to make some changes to Chibi-Mikuvan!

I mean, that and the fact that I have backed up way too many other things to talk about waiting on you guys to finish. One of the consequences of writing up an event report a month and a half post facto is that everything I remembered from the event and wanted to talk about really really badly is now… wait, what was I talking about again? See what I’m talking about?!

Additionally, for the past month or three, I’ve been working some black projects which will be excellent once revealed, but I feel like need a little more time to develop before I drop the bass. Rest assured it will not be disappointing.

Anyways, onto the event!
