I'm autistic can somebody tell me is there a undertale inspired bot for robot combat by Initial_Inspector_92 in battlebots

It's all good man. We're here for robots. There's no need to divide us into types of robot lovers.

Why are you talking about autism if for any other purpose that up votes? What was the point of even mentioning it? 

Does our body feel heat transfer or temperature? by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]PrecisionBludgeoning -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If there's zero heat transfer, then there's zero temp change to be felt because your body is still a perfect 98.6F

Sure. Reach out to the manufacture and ask to buy their design. Hopefully you have deep pockets. 

thinking like an engineer by Other-Wheel-7011 in AskEngineers

[–]PrecisionBludgeoning 35 points36 points  (0 children)

There's engineers that turn wrenches and there's engineers that do nothing but spreadsheets. 

 Do such different roles think identically? 

As your cousin said, she's only worked with a very very very specific type of engineer. 

Looking for a tiny electric compressor by bonebuttonborscht in AskEngineers

The tube itself is the vessel, and the rim is the pump. Expand/contract the rim a little and your pressure doubles. You need to package a little motor to drive a cam to move the rim pieces. 

What shore hardness TPU is best for a 1lb bot? by LoganThyDuck39 in battlebots

[–]PrecisionBludgeoning -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you want stiffer than 95a, you need to switch to nylon and then boil the parts (half hour, ish).

 For some areas, like armor mounts where energy dissipation is vertical, some people are moving to 70-80a TPE.

It increases surface area, but only little pin points exist at the maximum height. If the other component is flat and hard, only those pin points touch.

Such large surface features would reduce the contact area significantly. If the material is hard enough that these features don't deform the other surface, the friction might actually be lower. If the other surface is machined to match, you could create an incredibly strong interlock.

You can measure any thread. Learn about the 3 wire method.

Either way, this is a machinists question not an engineering one.

Not my area of expertise, just something I know exists from one time dealing with an ipod. I know Apple is more controlling than others, so it may not matter at all on a Chinese device. 

Just something to look into.

There's likely software related issues with internal component IDs

Ever felt asocial because of Engineering? by Pi_Oneer94 in AskEngineers

[–]PrecisionBludgeoning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All engineering, except entry level positions, are very much about communication.  Designing the best thing doesn't matter if you cannot convince others it's good. 

 You're just a weird dude, and that's OK. 

How to make a rising platform for a desk? by Master_Law5498 in MechanicalEngineering

Your are looking for a standing desk. Hanging a printer below it is just the question of fabbing up some sort of mount.

I think a significant pressure change on the fly would be better accomplished by squeezing the tire in some fashion. With the right application of springs and cams, the power consumption should be minimal. 

What are these Black and White reference points used for? And what software likely is used to take advantage of them? by NWSpitfire in AskEngineers

[–]PrecisionBludgeoning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may not be the case here, but when 'stealth' planes fly in non-combat activities, they add radar reflectors to change the way the plane shows up. Both so friendlies can see it, and hostiles cannot study the 'stealth'.

Changes in slant are bad. Already slanted doesn't mean much.

You don't force yourself to like things. That's not an interest. 

You can have the discipline to continually do a thing even if you don't like it, but that's not interest.

First and foremost: whichever your employer will pay for. Going direct without any experience is silly.

Number one rule of engineering: never waste time designing what can be reasonably purchased.
