I keep forgetting that my website has actual pages. Therefore, to remedy this, I’m in the process of updating the project pages to reflect their most recent incarnations. Being updated include the combat robot pages, which are still showing the content of last year, and the current states of LOLrioKart and RazEr.

Also, I’ll be adding a new section to the project page – academic, research, and professional works, since I realized that keeping track of the legit things that I’ve done is conducive to building your nascent career in engineering™.

Watch this space for the continued tragic story of LOLrioKart, my start-to-finish-in-a-week-for-a-class-project-,-go-figure robot, and my explorations in course 6.

Well, that was certainly the most unproductive break I have ever had. But now, after 3 weeks of slow-cooking in suburban decandence, stranded away from my ecological niche, I’ll be heading back. Time to check out how much of a wreck MITERS is from the 2 or 3 simultaneous IAP programs that it’s hosting. Hopefully it isn’t one.

Continuing the drainage of my Atlanta cruftpile, I’ll be bring back with me a few things that have been on my mind for the past few weeks. Things like this cacknormous truck starter motor, a 4″ aluminum round billet, and a stack of 125mm scooter wheels to continue the wheelmotor experiments. Also, a curious induction motor and alternator from a Honda motorcycle.

These things totaled around 60 pounds, so Fedex is now in charge of them. I spent more on shipping and packing than getting all of those things in the first place. Sigh.

Off to Cambridgeshire!

Also, your pleas have not gone unheard.
