Adamo(the first pizza bot) now has a functioning actuator. We put the pizza plate on the motor and hooked it up to a mouse. We also have a bunch of pictures. We will have a welcome video to the hackerspace soon, right now we have someone editing it. We have a film student. I like artists ^_^
The hackerspace is in the process of getting a paint job. We used low VOC and we have a HEPA filter on top of it all.
Ferret completed a WICKED display sign for the front window. It's an old optiplex that's been better re purposed as a lamp. It runs on 4.5 Watts of LEDs!
Saint has built a high-definition projector from a magazine magnifier, LCD and a construction light(yes, he already has the McGyver nickname). We're mounting it in the ceiling so we can project down onto a table.
If you contact us via phone, please leave a phone #. We don't devote the extra time to tracking your unknown #s down.
The Battle Robots competition may be able to get a couple acres by Canyon Ferry. We would do this on private property, so I am trying to get a sliver of pro-bono help from a lawyer. We need to have attendees/competitors sign waivers so our potential sponsor doesn't have to worry about liability.
What else happened in the past 13 days... Ah! Yeah! Congratulations to Saint for getting hired on as an instructor at the local U of M! He's also been delegating a bit more so I(Ferret)'m chatting you up instead.
We have a very organized and impressive newsletter this go around. Sign up for it on the website( http://mthackers.com/Contact.html). The membership goal for September 30th is 45 members. This means less than 3 members every other week We are on track to have $60k for the hackerspace by the end of December.
That's all folks!
