I was very busy for the past few months. I had robotics every tuesday, babysitting filling in the rest. These past 2 weeks I was in drivers training and I got my permit. This Saturday, I finished drivers training, etc. I am now working on my tracked robot, and a PIC18F2550 control board for it. Any time I did have left I would play video games or etc. Pics on what im doing soon

hi Krumlink,
Well that takes care of the mornings, what about the afternoon and evening.

Promise me, when you get your own wheels, dont start fooling around with the ECU.

Have you ever thought about building a half track robot...

Thanks for the notice... For my own safety, I'm turning in my driver's license and either walking or riding mass transit!

You'll be safer in a car. There's that old saying to keep in mind - "Keep death off the roads - drive on the pavement (sidewalk)"

Mike.
P.S. congrats on the permit.

 

Whasamatter? Babysitter not let you on the Internet?

Mwa ha ha!

 

No, the kids were crazy. I fell asleep once and woke up with ribbon and tape around my head and face. There were stuffed animals everywhere, and peanut butter in the carpet.

Yeah.

Most little kid drivers in my city lower the car so much that the shock absorbers are destroyed and the car bounces along making sparks each time it bottoms out.

Then they remove the muffler and replace it with an extremely noisy thing.

Then they tint the glass so that they get rear-ended by somebody behind who can't see a stop coming ahead.

Then they remove the anti-pollution controls so they stink.

After-market LED rear lights that can't be seen?

Neon lights underneath?

A very loud and boomy sound system?

I dislike all those things on a car. Cool for visual affect, but should be kept off the road. I am very aware and cautious of all things using my peripheral vision, and constantly monitor my speed. I am a good driver I would say, but I understand the problems with being too confident, you think you are a good driver, when you still need experience.

Come on, AG. Chopped, lowered, dual glass packs, cut-outs. We were doing that in the 50's. Some of my friends even had fuel injectors so flames would come out exhaust. Anti-pollution wasn't even a word. Let them have fun. Just hope you stay away from all drugs and excessive alcohol. John

 

I remember mustangs and comaros jacked up so high you could change both tires witout using a jack!

My cars have always (except one) had front wheel drive so I like doing a very sharp turn in snow with the hand brake.

A car behind me was skidding towards me. I made a quick hand-brake turn and he hit the car that was in front of me. (smiley)

LOL yeah... jacked up so high that you could clearly see the extended leaf spring shackles, and all that effort did was prematurely wear out front ball joints! Glass packs? Cherry Bombs? Not for me! I went with Walker performance mufflers on my Chevy 427 which let me hear the cam at work. I always preferred a performance motor that had well balance tone between motor mechanics and the exhaust sound. Rumbling exhaust means little... but a hi-lift cam and a whining blower sure sounded sweet!

My son had a blow-off valve on his turbo that sneezed really loud when he lifted his foot off the accellerator pedal.

WTF???
i thought such things still happen only in Greece... i also thought that Canada is years ahead!

 

I have never been to Greece.

The kids in Canada drive little "Ricers" which is what we call Honda cars.
Adults drive huge SUV trucks that tip over and roll over and over when they trip on a pebble.
