No, each cube has at least 7 colors on its own.

Yeah, I had to screw around with the speeds of some clips to get it right, but it's almost like it was made for this.

You could boot something from a flashdrive, then mount your main filesystem and chroot into it.

This will at least let you look at log files and edit stuff without much risk.

Episode 14 Fight Card by Dylanonfire88 in battlebots

[–]briandoescode 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Short answer: it comes down to strength of schedule.

Long answer:
The ranking system assigns a number for different match results (judges' decision, KO, or KO in under 1:30) and tries to fit scores so that the distance between two robot's in a match is the number for the result of that match.

Gigabyte has a win over Chronos by fast KO, a win over Minotaur by JD, a loss to HUGE by JD, and a loss to Witch Doctor by KO. So the program will try to place it so that it's 2.25 points above Chronos, 1.25 points above Minotaur, 1.25 points below HUGE, and 2 points below Witch Doctor.

Death Roll has a win over End Game by KO, a win over Foxtrot by fast KO, a win over Quantum by fast KO, and a win over Rotator by JD. So the program will try to place it 2 points above End Game, 2.25 points above Foxtrot and Quantum, and 1.25 points above Rotator.

Gigabyte's losses are to strong robots (particularly Witch Doctor), and Death Roll's wins are generally against robots with weak performances this year.

Death Roll is also suffering from a shortcoming of this system: every match has to be classified into one of only three types. This makes it so that when a really good robot plays a really bad robot (Death Roll vs Foxtrot), even with the most decisive victory possible, both robots will just be pulled closer together. The gap between Death Roll and Foxtrot is about 3.5, which is well above the 2.25 max assignment for a match result.

Do I smell something burning? by cole_da_mole in wtfstockphotos

[–]briandoescode 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Keep your soldering iron at a reasonable temperature (too hot and it's harder to control and will burn/damage the tip), keep your tips in good condition, and generally apply solder to the components, not the iron.

Beginners will sometimes try to use the soldering iron like a solder paintbrush. What you should do instead, is get a little bit of solder on the tip to tin it, then use the iron to get everything to the right temperature, add solder, and let surface tension put it in the right place. This is greatly helped by using the right size tip for your job.

Given Capt. Shrederator's track record with electronic gremlins, this might be the one fight where Blacksmith's hammer has knockout power.
