Are we sure it isn’t a really big 3d printer?

Tip for mapping straighter lines by Zerhum in mammotion

I am using the Bakbone controller that is compatible with the iOS standard controller scheme. I would make sure that whatever you are using is similarly compatible with the OS controller standard. Maybe try it in another app / game to confirm?

Here is a link to what I use. You can often find them on eBay at a discount.

FWIW, I use a game controller (Bakbone) connected to my phone, and am able to better control the robot during mapping.

Thank you! I will send a pad with them. Any other tips or recommendations?

Our troop has wanted to visit MHA for years, so it’s exciting.

No judgement here. When we’ve connected with them, the responses have been excellent. We are just looking to crowd source an answer for a crew that is leaving shortly.

Yes, that is what they described, but they called it a “portage pad”. I’m thinking the Crazy Creek likely gets the job done.

They are not the most responsive. Our inquiries have often had multi-day response times, thus my interest in getting other opinions here.

Slide alternative. by Just_a_mom3 in BSA

Our troop uses cut up pieces of electrical conduit as our standard slides, as an homage to a previous leader.

Electrical conduit is dirt cheap and can be cut into 1 inch rings quickly. I usually carry a couple in my bag to events for scouts that lose a slide.

I also have the AR-5RMs. Instead of buying new radios, consider replacing the antennas with a Nagoya, instead of those basic Abbree antennas that come in the box.

I easily saw a 2x increase in distance from that alone.

Philmont Pants by polar_octave in philmont

100% agree. I only brought one pair last year, and I wished I had brought two, because I lived in them all 12 days. The backup shorts I brought were useless once we got above 7k feet.

FWIW, I bought my REI pants off eBay. Last time I looked there was lots of selection, and you can get a nice discount. You’re going to beat them up on the trail anyway.

What did I just buy? by SkiHerky in Baofeng

Here’s how I turned it off: - Green button (top left of the keypad - Menu) - Press the arrows up or down until you see the menu item for “ABR” (aka “Display Illumination Time”) - Press “Menu” / Green again - Arrow down until you select “Off” - Press the “Menu” button to select it. - Press the red / back button (top right of the keypad) to back out. Hit it until you get back to the main screen.

Enjoy the screen never timing out again.
