Alone in a God-less Universe, and Out of Cutting Fluid

by Toni 9/30/2010 21:07
After receiving some very cool parts today, we were excited to be able to make a start on our 12lb drumbot, Nihilistic Naysayer 0.9. [More]

Thanks, Whyachians :-)

After checking with our fellow builders on the forums, we sent some DXF files to Team Whyachi for waterjet-cutting, and here's what they sent back ... [More]

1lb Shell Spinner Design

by Toni 9/29/2010 12:50
Finally! This is the design we came up with for our one-pounder Poor Punctuation 0.9. We went through five or six different designs for this antweight 'bot before finding one that looked like it might actually come close to making weight. [More]

Couple more handy items

by Toni 9/28/2010 20:11
Two more deliveries today, one of 'bot parts and one piece of gear that brings back some memories! [More]

Xmas - Part Deux!

by Toni 9/27/2010 20:49
We returned home to find two more packages - Xmas, the holiday that keeps on giving! [More]

Xmas comes early! And from Hong Kong!

Xmas came early today when a package from Hong Kong showed up on my desk today - hurray! [More]

Orange you glad I didn't say "Banana"?

It's so convenient to be able to walk out to the garage and do some work that we can always find something to do. Here's a bit more progress on the beetleweight. [More]

Another Step Forward Beetle-wise

by Toni 9/25/2010 23:49
You know, the process of turning Hyperbolic Hoops 0.9 from idea to actual 'bot is ... interesting. We used to get an idea, go straight to CAD and design it, then send out for parts and begin a build. Building this particular 'bot isn't going like that at all. [More]

Making a start on the Hobbyweight

by Toni 9/24/2010 23:34
We're going to have this 'bot mostly waterjet-cut by Team Whyachi, but there are a few things we can do to get started. [More]

12lb Drumbot Design

by Toni 9/23/2010 22:13
Okay, so we're about five or six years late to this party, but it's time to build a Hobbyweight Drumbot! [More]

More Beetle Work

by Toni 9/22/2010 22:45
It's really nice to be able to step out a door and be at the Build Space - no need to go driving across town to tinker on a 'bot when the mood strikes! [More]

Working on the Beetle

by Toni 9/19/2010 16:42
Our original work on our beetleweight was sitting in a box, so we decided to see if there was anything we could do to get it closer to completion. [More]

Taking inventory

by Toni 9/18/2010 11:44
Although we had a lot of stuff stolen back in California, there's still quite a lot of 'bot stuff sitting around that was unearthed when the garage Build Space was tidied up. Here's a few shots of things that were dug up. [More]

Preparing the Build Space

by Toni 9/18/2010 11:28
If you're going to build, you need somewhere to do it. This means the garage, but there's a small issue - the garage is filled with three year's worth of accumulated junk! Time to do some tidying ... [More]

Old site back online

by Toni 9/16/2010 10:20
Until such time as we work on integrating our old stuff into this new web site, you can check out the good ol' days and read the original Team Tadicus web site here: http://old.teamradicus.com[More]

Initial 'Bot Designs

by Toni 9/16/2010 06:24
Here are some doodles from the past few days as we've been working through some ideas. These are the new 'bots were going to put together ... [More]

New battery chargers have arrived

by Toni 9/16/2010 04:47
Cool ... the first items in our attempt to get re-equipped have shown up: two iCharger 106B+ battery chargers! Thanks to Pete Smith of Team Rolling Thunder for the product suggestion. [More]
