Comment on Just up the production quality and they'll love it, Trust me bro đ

Like combat robots?
Very curious where the idea Iâm in a cabin came from
The wood workbench for the CNC cabinet sorta looks hand built and cabin like, and then the rest has a sort of background firewatch sorta older home aesthetic that made me think Cabin. The angles also made it look smaller/like it had less rooms than a house would, and things like the bar you were hanging off of also seemed a bit strange to just be in a regular house (like who just has a horizontal bar running from one side of an indiscriminate room to another sort of thing).
In hindsight I can see it being a house but thats what made me think it.
I think all my posts have been from when I was living in my regular boring old house!
And now you live in a boat off the coast of Costa Rica like many other digital nomads (Is what I am guessing based on this and the software developer part).

Antweight, yep! Though in this case I just meant I own a lot of manufacturing robots.

What type of bot/s do you have/are you planning to build? Meta vert spinner? Meat and potatoes horizontal? Control bot? Entirely too technical and expensive to be practical at antweight flipper?
Like industrial ârip your hand off without bogging downâ arms or ?? and why?
That sounds like the least coincidental thing possible considering they canât exactly be used for anything else can they?
Everyone wants the coveted silicon valley stress for 5 years then retire and coast off your resume position dont they.

Ah no I just meant it was a coincidence that when I said robots, referring to my milling machines, you guessed one of the main things I do with them (combat robots). I do technically own an arm, but itâs just a small 2.5-axis tray placing arm, everything else I have is just various flavors of CNC or 3D printing equipment. And as to why I own them: Iâm really bad with money and my autistic hyperfocus is robots. IDK man theyâre just cool.
Is there really a difference between a vert spinner and an antweight flipper? The answer is a beaterbar spinner, but my local group plays with an arena floor that isnât flat so the meta has really been shifting towards control bots because theyâre the least reliant on clearance for success (looking at you, wedgebots. Looking at you with scorn in my gaze). But Iâve been messing around with a hammerspinner design that Iâm really hoping will bring back the carnage!
Turns out those jobs are really hard to get, damnitâŚ

Itâs what I plan to do when I have enough time and space since I already do makery things when Iâm feeling up to it, so I figured, if you already have a work bench and CNC machine, there are very few low stress/investment things you can make with one and this is one of the more fun ones.
Like sure you could be making product prototypes or tools etc, but all of those are like getting a second job. Combat robots is like once every 2 months you have 2 days of fun getting your shit torn apart and figuring out what you fucked up at the design or assembly stage, or that your control scheme is jank.
I mean, one can do actual damage, has additional difficulty driving with the gyro effect, and flips bots and, the other can turn the other bot upside down temporarily.
Yup, and you might not be selling your soul, but youâre certainly leasing it.
