@dirtman @seanf1orez What’s your spot size? Love the prototype but I too am concerned with the accuracy

[Cole Halupnik @ColeHalupnik]

@Object_Zero_ Already a thing, LDD from ipg photonics. Would be cool to see more competition in this area tho

[Cole Halupnik @ColeHalupnik]

@Perandex That’s sick is it a cobot?

America is an aerospace republic

[Cole Halupnik @ColeHalupnik]

@dirtman @AMRwelding Is that the xtool metalfab? How’s the quality/accuracy?

@83dollaroring Purpl ftw

[Cole Halupnik @ColeHalupnik]

Can’t wait to see this fire

[slinky vagabond 🌲🔩☕️🦉🌻 @83dollaroring]

these kids are cracked by the way

[Cole Halupnik @ColeHalupnik]

@hunterlanier Any other books you recommend for rocket building?

[Cole Halupnik @ColeHalupnik]

@ihtesham2005 Powerhouse of the cell mentioned🗣️

@ryanpappano Sweet, you should dm me I wanna learn more. I’ve been working on a turbopump as well.

@SciFiArchives Damn engineers used to get tummy time😔

[Cole Halupnik @ColeHalupnik]

@Aviation_Intel Experimental fighter jet engine is not a flex. Sounds expensive + not in mass production.

[Cole Halupnik @ColeHalupnik]

@0xmitsurii Yeah that’s what I woulda done

[Cole Halupnik @ColeHalupnik]

@ThaaatColin @reindsummit knows what’s up. Bring back Detroit.

@bdguan Does it matter who is first to innovate if China is the one to execute? America needs to compete in the manufacturing industry for innovations to hold real value.

Rapid prototyped an autonomous maritime system at the @albacoreinc hackathon with Purdue National Defense Society:

- CV-enabled quadcopter for target detection
- Mesh network for real-time data sharing
- Autonomous surface vehicles executing cooperative interception

Full hardware demo in just one weekend.

I chose an aluminum Nukeproof Scout frame with a 12 speed SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain for long Iowa climbs. Tubeless Eliminator tires and a 120 mm RockShox Gold 35 fork work great for control on aggressive, hard packed trails. The rest of the build prioritized cheap, light parts.

Check out this hardtail frame-up build I did with @luke_eckman a while back. The goal was a solid trail bike that was cheap, light, and fit to my riding style. It was hung from my basement rafters and built with plenty of improvised tools to cut costs.
