@ohitstarik Bad take, you clearly don't understand it's purpose. They're desk ornaments for mechanical engineers to flex on other mechanical engineers. Just like the paper McMaster catalogue.

There's nothing quite as gratifying as controlling an industrial robot arm hooked up to a laser welder. The monstrosity of a controller is ironically called a pendant. Thanks Robert at @ForgeRobotics for the play time.

@AmericanStator @jarrodxmartian Cool. Will you do inrunner motors too?

I had a long car ride during which I'd planned to do some CAD work, but forgot my mouse. Trackpad CAD is the realm of masochists, thus isn't well supported by most CAD software. I vibed up an app that emulates @Onshape's middle-click-to-pan and right-click-to-orbit behaviour when a 3- or 4-finger drag is done. This whole exercise took me ~15 minutes, including learning how to use the Mac terminal and setting up permissions. Moments like this, when a mech-monkey like me can build a software tool in mere minutes, really make me feel like we're living in the future.

@dipole_labs Really cool that you're trying to solve the problem through efficiency, rather than just throwing more energy or compute at it.

@risos8200 Your live demo was epic! It's one thing showing carefully rehearsed robotics demo vids, another thing doing it for the first time in front of a live audience. Keep it up!
