Hey chamnit, I am on the G1.1 page (the new one) and am in the configuration area near the bottom. There's a paragraph which is not jiving with what I understand the settings to be and was wondering, am I missing something, or is this bad info? "Tweak your $11x acceleration and $12x max rate setting...

Now THAT was scary. So many examples of what not to do. But I couldn't stop watching. I also thought it was a kinda funny how fast the video stopped right after the machine was stopped.

While the cutout is really very cool, I wanna know where I can get a magic probe like that.

I am going to show this to my son tonight. The danger is that he'll want one too.

So... 2 little hiccups along the way... (well there were more, but I will mention these now). I mentioned the bearings I found at ServoCity . They can be found here and the item number is #535051. They are a little expensive (at least they are to me) when you consider that you need 4 of them for wha...

Thanks Rob!!! Hans, it's been frustrating fun. (Is that even a real thing?) So... What does one do when the rest of the family is away? Have insane parties? Spin from the celling fan till you pass out? Join a biker gang? No! You drive yourself batty trying to build crazy crap. I have been really pus...
