Would it work: yes #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:27 inelegant. #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:27 we could pobally add another mount on the top of the motor mounts on the outside of the frame that housed them #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:27 ok. #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:27 and use a pulley #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:27 it's just that i've got the code almost done for the new motor controllers, and i'd kind of like to test them. #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:27 understandable #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:28 also, the fact that proper feedback is kinda a very big deal on this robot #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:28 are we meeting tomorrow? #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:28 (i'll be there regardless) #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:28 like an offical mech/elec team meeting? #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:28 or in general? #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:28 oh right #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:28 Sunday.... #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:29 my bad.

what's going to end up happennig #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:29 how about this #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:30 we buy 1 encoder for you to play with #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:30 and for the mech team to integrate #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:30 if we like what we see we can use it #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:30 so... two encoders then? #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:31 well, the fact is, i don't really want $60 going down the drain if we don't end up using it #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:31 i say we buy two and count on using them. #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:31 ok #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:31 you might need to design mounts for them, but they're relatively small and can be shoe-horned in #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:31 I for some reason had buying 6 in my head right off the bat. #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:32 I forgot about operating each side on one alone #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:32 so yea, buying two sounds good #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:32 well, it's certainly not ideal... but... #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:32 yeah. #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:33 what is the status with the server rack mount thing that you wanted? #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:33 nick was going to look into what that one crazy store had #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:34 i hope it turns out that he found something, because all i've found is expensive #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:34 we might end up needing the mechanical team to build us a box of sorts #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:34 if it comes to that, it will happen #rhrt: 01/04/09 00:35 right-o #rhrt: 01/04/09
