Ah no I just meant it was a coincidence that when I said robots, referring to my milling machines, you guessed one of the main things I do with them (combat robots).
It’s what I plan to do when I have enough time and space since I already do makery things when I’m feeling up to it, so I figured, if you already have a work bench and CNC machine, there are very few low stress/investment things you can make with one and this is one of the more fun ones.
Like sure you could be making product prototypes or tools etc, but all of those are like getting a second job. Combat robots is like once every 2 months you have 2 days of fun getting your shit torn apart and figuring out what you fucked up at the design or assembly stage, or that your control scheme is jank.
(Is there really a difference between a vert spinner and an antweight flipper…?)
I mean, one can do actual damage, has additional difficulty driving with the gyro effect, and flips bots and, the other can turn the other bot upside down temporarily.
Turns out those jobs are really hard to get, damnit…
Yup, and you might not be selling your soul, but you’re certainly leasing it.
