Im a self-taught robotics engineer who has also worked on rockets, jet engines and drones throughout his aerospace degree in his spare time.

Now ive cofounded a robotics company in London, Paddington Robotics.

ROBOTICS JOURNEYMEN. LET ME IN.

That it guys. This is the top. Time to pack it up lol

[Sam Altman @sama]

We have raised a $110 billion round of funding from Amazon, NVIDIA, and SoftBank.

We are grateful for the support from our partners, and have a lot of work to do to bring you the tools you deserve.

@1llegalEngineer That looks so funny irl

[Fang @FangSystems]

wtf would you use this connector for

240V mains AC to 5.5mm DC barrel jack

@matbogus oak-d REPRESENT

[Fang @FangSystems]

Ah so thats what happens when I 12 speed beacon my copper wire crafter

[Vishakh Ranotra @VishakhRanotra]

Our CNC machine has now clocked a speed of 1304 pieces/minute!!

That’s more than 21 springs in a second!

A 30% increase in speed over our previous record.

We achieved this feat without a thorough redesign of the entire machine.

All springs you see here are in the tolerance of +/- 0.1 mm

It was already the fastest in the country. We just dialled it up a notch. This is now one of the fastest CNC spring coiler in the world, if not the fastest.

Investing in R&D pays.

Designed and built in Bharat 🇮🇳

@simonkalouche cant wait for humanoid basket weaving by hand as well lol

[Fang @FangSystems]

funny thing is, that humanoid is probably cheaper than that snow plough robot that you will only use for one task for a few weeks of the year

@tomdisney Loving the huge array of mecanum wheels 🔥

@beyarkay @omglolbah @yacineMTB Well for this board, its laid out to be as easy to route as possible. I have maybe 5 traces on the bottom layer..

[Fang @FangSystems]

After playing factorio, ive started to use the silkscreen to draw borders around each section of a schematic and it makes PCBs so much more readable. U guys should try it.

w silkscreen borders no borders

As expected, the aliexpress special buck/boost converter sucks for dynamic loads. Heres it connected to a PC.

Drops all the way down to 4.142v...

[Fang @FangSystems]

Aliexpress DC/DC converter getting too🔥🔥?

Flip the mosfets around and heatsink them directly to the robot chassis

[Fang @FangSystems]

@GoddenThomas Aluminium foil is pretty precisely controlled and very easy to cut. It worked great for me adjusting my cnc mill by a few thou :)

[Fang @FangSystems]

the japanese are doing incredible things with motors

[Fang @FangSystems]

Really cool research project but in their later version of the robot (ALLEX), they have unfortunately removed a lot of the novel parts and have gone back to a more traditional wrist design (probably because you can put bigger bearings in there for more rigidity).

Heres their new robot:

@teraytech btw, for front/rear panels, you can actually use PCBs. You can get it with your PCB order and you can customize the silkscreen on the front

@caruso_gab Funnily enough, I dont really like using KiCad. I use easyEDA

DAY 6+7+8:
I LAUNCHED THE ROCKET!

Here's my final base, with each science section highlighted. Funny how small the first three sciences are compared to the rest of them.

In the end, I added the remaining sciences all in their separate lanes making either 2/sec (🟥🟩⬛️), 1/sec (🟦) or 0.5/sec (🟪🟨) (see sections).

Small concrete plant on the left with a flame thrower ammo plant below. Also a rocket fuel plant (1/sec) on the bottom.

Have yet to set up automatic rocket and satellite production due to the limitations of this base design.

I'm starting to see why everyone uses a "main bus" design instead of compartmentalizing each science to it's own section. Much easier to expand when demand needs more iron plates of copper wire (also probably a bit more fun dealing with bottlenecks).

Took me 40hrs to beat. I feel like I didn't fully engage with all the system the game had to offer. I barely touched circuits, nuclear power and more advanced combat.

Overall great game and definitely lived up to the hype!

[Fang @FangSystems]

DAY 4+5
- Added military, blue and purple science sections
- Now have actual train unloading station with remote mining bases

I get a feeling that individual sections are kinda annoying. Maybe I should have made it with a "main bus" design...

[Fang @FangSystems]

Map view. Near the end I was starting to run into issues with the trains getting stuck and iron throughput so I kinda rushed it so I could move onto a new base.
