BuckyBot

just noticed I didn't update the systems design document Sunday... will probably cost me any Hackaday Prize placement .... will go ahead and post the completed document ... which is WAY better than the incomplete one on the ranarchy page ... in the spirit of co-operation and completeness ... damnit!

... on its own six legs.  I am trying to get a 3D-printed Stephen Colbert to ride shotgun...

I post here and on the Systems Design Page at ranarchy.org

I have added the System Design Document (under construction) and changed the link on this page to the work breakdown structure document to reflect.  Instead of going to the bare WBS outline, it now goes to a "Systems Design" page that documents the BuckyBot design in detail -- complete with annotated drawings.  This is part of the general cleanup and documentation for the next selection process...

I am using the Blog (link underneath the pictures) to describe uses of the BuckyBot that we envision.  It also presents details on where we see the design going (maturing from PLA/ABS construction to Stainless Steel, for instance).

let's try:

... is almost working.  I've never used wordpress before, so i'm climbing the learning curve.

...but it's still under construction.

... desist with the mundane, everyday design/build descriptions, or should I, instead, blog about the eventual and ultimate uses of building megastructures with these wee beasties?  What would better serve the Hackaday Prize?  Construction details versus propagandizing for hearts and minds.  If you are following BuckyBot, please tell me what you'd rather see here...
