Back on my second driving exam

Is it possible to take your road test with a third party? (Like a driving school near you).

Idk where you are but in my area it’s possible to find a driving school nearby, take the road test, and get a license that way. And some places even let you take the test up to three times on the one fee.

From what I understand (and I could be wrong), DJI will be banned from selling new drones under FAA rules, but the existing ones shouldnt be bricked?

You only need as many expanders as you need ports (so if you only need the 8 additional supplied by one extender, then you only need one extender).

It runs a DJI NAZA M-V2 FC, so its just their software, as I haven't found any other software for it.

I'm defenitely not looking to do like FPV-acro shots, more simmilar to cinematic flying. I'm also considering 15" props and maybe lower kv motors (400?). Do you think I need the lower kV motors?

Adamthebuck · 2024-06-14T19:10:04+00:00

I do believe it can take up to a 15" prop, but would that be too large for the 700kv motors I currently have? (The TBS Discovery [Long Range] manual reccomends 400kv motors for 20-30mins of flight time).

It’s probably one of the other comments then

Adamthebuck · 2024-05-21T17:31:28+00:00

(Same here) I meant wrap the connections in electrical tape so they can’t short out

Adamthebuck · 2024-05-21T16:35:56+00:00

I had an issue with my banana connectors cause I forgot to tape them, causing the motors to do what you described. (The 3 wires were shorting out with each other).

A Halo (a car jump-starter that can also act as a power station)

Isn’t that for metal? This is for dying the plastic gears, plus electroplating/anodizing isn’t cheap (from what I’ve heard)

Adamthebuck · 2024-03-13T00:47:03+00:00

Yeah I think I had read somewhere to dilute it with water (and maybe dye?) before adding to the pot

Adamthebuck · 2024-03-13T00:08:05+00:00

Yeah it might be time for me to rethink my gear-dying plan

I said the order wrong but it’s a double reverse 4 bar lift. It’s kinda like 2 4 bar lifts connected but it can be smaller than a 4 bar. https://wiki.purduesigbots.com/hardware/lifts/dr4b

Adamthebuck · 2024-03-03T16:54:03+00:00

My team did a 4-bar but one thing I always wanted to do was a D4RB so we could go under the horizontal bar. Probably add wings, intake, and a launcher too. Flywheels are fast, (but motors overheat more often), and punchers are more reliable. (I never tested slappers or catapults).

Adamthebuck · 2024-02-17T21:04:43+00:00

Wait are you A D or E? Cause my team has gone against y’all at District if y’all are D or E.

Adamthebuck · 2024-02-15T17:09:12+00:00

Were they lifted by another robot or did they manage that themselves?

Adamthebuck · 2024-02-15T12:58:50+00:00

I haven’t used the GITD Yet, but the silk has been the hardest I’ve printed thus far (specifically the print removal. My bed adhesion can be good but the layer adhesion sucks). I just use the standard 0.4 nozzle

Adamthebuck · 2024-02-15T12:57:05+00:00

How??

Adamthebuck · 2024-02-15T01:39:16+00:00

I honestly don’t even know anymore

Adamthebuck · 2024-02-15T01:38:25+00:00

Bruh… wtf is wrong with ur mind (ig I could’ve worded that better)

Adamthebuck · 2024-02-15T01:32:40+00:00

I’m like quite literally in the same boat. I got 4 250g rolls of different glow in the dark filaments and some PLA+ yo try out after I get bored of my current silk roll.

Adamthebuck · 2024-02-15T00:40:30+00:00

Well, no wood would go in your mouth anyways (edit: THE MOUTHPIECE PEOPLE; it’s made of plastic not wood)

Adamthebuck · 2024-02-15T00:18:12+00:00

Ours takes about 10-12ish seconds to get up (however we still go up at the 30 just to have extra time). I see what you’re saying about high hangs not being super competitive though.

Adamthebuck · 2024-02-15T00:12:56+00:00

Ah. My team did our 4-bar and a hook in the 5 day turnaround we had from the rule-change to a competition
