2012.March.4

I was only able to catch part of SCRoW this week (in case you missed it, the “R” for robotics was added to SCoW a little while ago; I’m just now starting to get used to it myself). Alan was in the process of rebuilding an ergonomic mouse. He was picking through the carcasses of [...]

As you can see in the pic, the device tracked the heating profile pretty well. Unfortunately, it didn’t cool down quickly enough. [...]
