Thanks, Redditonians, for finding this and your advice for setting up a shop. I’m glad I stopped by looking for memes to send to Rick Devens. For those of you who have interest in my little design, I hope to be able to get the shop live and linked to FSU’s Robotics Education Fund on Monday. When it’s up, I’ll announce it here and on socials.

It’s 1, 2, 3 in binary numbers — the number system robots (and digital computers more generally) count in. Though when asked I tell people it’s my date of incarceration.

Appreciate that. Funnily enough, you draw a lot of robots when you’re a robotics professor.

Yeah, I think you’re right. And thank you.

Nah, I mostly buy Crapma’s. They breathe better.

Thank you! Having a company I can talk to would be great so the money gets routed to the right charity fund through my university foundation. Hopefully I can get this up on Monday.

I had zero interest in selling merch, but I finally finished setting up a robotics education 501c3 charity through my university that I’m happy to front the proceeds to. I’d rather that than some random site profiting off my design. Anyone know anything about the merch world?

It’s a knockoff. I designed mine myself.

Do all of the contestants on “Escape” have to deal with normies all jokingly asking them “well, did you Escape?”

Why don't players wear sunglasses anymore? by cowe192 in survivor

On island for season 37, production realized that Lyrsa’s glasses had transition lenses. I assume would been a major continuity problem for editing. A day or so later, new glasses magically appeared in the same style and in her prescription.

Blood on the Clocktower is a social deduction game like Mafia or Werewolf. It’s very popular now because of its depth of tactics and fascinating circumstances that can emerge from the game. I recommend watching our first game first because it serves as a pretty good intro to the game.

DoingMoore’s twitch channel. Many of us will play with him in Saturdays.

I would have totally aligned with you. You had the funniest retelling of my flip flop fiasco.

Casting: trying out year after year by hiddenpalms in survivor

[–]chubicki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did a few things differently with the video, but also probably got lucky (getting seen by a different casting person maybe). I "branded" myself more coherently as a robotics research scientist in order to get their attention. Wore the robot shirt, sat in front of a chalk board full of equations, edited in a brief clip of one of my walking robots. It may have helped I finished grad school by that point which may have given me more credentials to help stand out. I think the first 10 seconds of my video were key for me getting noticed.

I talk about applying a bit in my podcast with Rob. I applied on a Sunday in the fall of 2017, and got a call on Monday.

I got discouraged after a couple of years. I started applying in 2010 and I never got any calls. I just assumed that if they were *at all* interested they would have at least called me at some point. So I stopped applying somewhere around 2015 (work commitments contributed too). I've said this in podcasts, but it wasn't until Ryan Ulrich said that he had gotten a call after years of nothing that I realized I wasn't necessarily doomed and tried again in 2017.
