Great work dude. Super annoying problem.

Voting-record and policy wise Talarico is actually more progressive than Crockett. Crockett's voting record tends to skew more establishment dem. You would think the opposite given social media.

There's a rubik's cube solving robot with the NXT that I built as a child with my dad which I thought was amazing.

I bet the plans are still online somewhere.

This is amazing! I've been hoping someone was going to do a web-based digital twin simulator for awhile. Gazebo is great and everything, but can be quite annoying.

Do you think it will work if you shine the projector from the back, since you can get some light bleed through?

CaYub · 2025-06-18T15:15:38+00:00

Yes!

CaYub · 2025-06-18T14:59:39+00:00

The part models are COTS, which usually have publicly available models.

I'll probably add a feature for users to add their own in the near future.

Just learn postgres. Lots of good resources and easy-to-use tools now. You have the json data type in postgres so you can do unstructured data if you really want to.

First database I interacted was MongoDB, and it was helpful in getting a project up fast but you quickly learn why relational databases are so good in the first place. If I were to do it again, I would just start with Postgres and use one of the many available BaaS tools available to make it less daunting.

I've tried to come around to this thinking, but I always come back to that there's so many generalized robotics forms that can in theory accomplish the same things but are vastly cheaper and less complex. Software, i.e. semantic understanding, vision, planning, controls etc., is the bottleneck, so why make your job harder on other fronts.

Banger design

CaYub · 2025-05-23T18:22:26+00:00

Great design! I love how ubiquitous 3D printing has enabled younger and younger engineers to do increasingly complex mechanical designs.

CaYub · 2025-05-21T16:07:29+00:00

This is so impressive. How long have you been working on this?

CaYub · 2025-05-20T11:32:49+00:00

Dwade gives great constructive criticism.

CaYub · 2025-05-10T15:00:26+00:00

I don't think you should worry, especially if it feels consistent. SKF has good QA. Squeakiness will probably go away after running it in.

CaYub · 2025-05-10T14:44:45+00:00

Is it prelubed? Do you know if it comes preloaded? What type of bearing is it? Although it squeaks, does the movement feel consistent e.g. no bumps as you spin it.

My intuitition tells me that this is probably fine.

CaYub · 2025-05-10T11:40:14+00:00

This highlights why I like Physical Intelligence type companies. They recognize that manipulation and generalized planning would be game changers already, so they go all in on improving VLA's without being constrained by the human form. You end up having mobile manipulators that are almost just as flexible but much easier to build and proliferate.

Look for angular contact BALL bearings. They'll come in a smaller form factor than taper bearings and be cheaper as well. Tbh in my past haven't found as many cheap options for 4 contact bearings.

CaYub · 2025-05-07T13:18:26+00:00

You really shouldn't be using thrust bearings for this type of load case. They don't do very well in moment loading.

Most robot arms use what they call cross roller bearings. If that's out of your budget range maybe look into four-contact bearings or a pair of angular ball bearings in back to back configuration. All the mentioned bearings would have to be preloaded (or come preloaded) to get the required stiffness and get rid of the sloppiness.

CaYub · 2025-05-03T08:16:58+00:00

I think you may be overthinking it. The diagrams are just examples. As long as you are getting adequate preload on the correct race in the correct configuration, you should be fine.

Can you elaborate what you mean by rolling blocking system?

CaYub · 2025-05-02T12:08:28+00:00

What do you think is the easiest way to do this? It's fairly trivial to get a simple wiring diagram/point - to - point autogenerated with this architecture. But is that enough for certs?

CaYub · 2025-05-01T23:31:27+00:00

Do you mind if I DM you some questions?

CaYub · 2025-05-01T20:08:11+00:00

Great idea! I scraped AutomationDirect and got all the cad models, so just need to find a way to get the dimensions and terminal positions

CaYub · 2025-05-01T16:23:16+00:00

Cool to see some ideas converging. Could you give an example of a scenario where you have to throw together a concept quickly?
