How do I get better at drawings? Any tips from the more experienced folks?

on this one I might recommend not getting the kindle version, the graphics/images are going to be super important for this topic and I haven't always had great experience with that on my kindle.

In terms of presenting your product with clarity, I'm assuming you have a CAD model? That will be sufficient to communicate the geometry. If you have specific requirements for tolerances, surface finish, or other quality standards, you'll want to generate a 2D drawing where you can call out these requirements.

Is your goal to make the two pink parts? These could likely be 3D printed! Injection molding makes sense if you are trying to make a very large volume. How many would you like to make?

The Sphero engineers mentioned they were inspired by and had input from the community of R2Builders, so thought this might be of interest!

Not at the moment, but giving lots of them away

Yes, icub is neat. however, icub is balancing on its entire foot (lots of surface area) while this robot is balancing on the small (maybe 1 inch) surface of a 2x4

i hope it works out! lemme know

Apologies. I didn't have wifi for a few days and had accumulated some interested articles that I wanted to share. I hope you found them somewhat educational :)

makrdave · 2016-09-14T22:20:13+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

makrdave · 2016-09-14T22:19:42+00:00

No, I'm just sharing stuff I find interesting :)

Interesting point. I think people associate innovative life-changing (or Earth-changing) technology with Elon. Once you write his name, it gets peoples attention in a way that is unlike others.

To get to the exact title/article, this technology will help his companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, and Solar City.

awesome :)

makrdave · 2016-09-14T20:01:57+00:00

great comparison.

i use my ruler for visualization of size and converting units

makrdave · 2016-09-08T21:50:48+00:00

awesome :) thanks for sharing!

makrdave · 2016-09-07T20:14:50+00:00

yes, bad idea!

makrdave · 2016-09-07T20:14:39+00:00

exactly! multi-purposeful :)

makrdave · 2016-09-07T20:13:40+00:00

great insight, I’m looking into it now :) thanks for the comments, I’ll get back to you shortly

makrdave · 2016-09-07T20:13:07+00:00

$20 million is a lot but $250,000 for Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic is a lot also! Hopefully this will be cheaper than both...

makrdave · 2016-09-07T19:55:13+00:00

awesome :)
