[sudo-discuss] giant robot

[Jake]

hi all,

i got a really fancy motor controller and a bunch of really fancy motors 
with encoders built-in, and it all works together.. and I think we should 
consider making another robot.  Here is the controller:

product sheet:

huge operation manual:

basically the brain can control six motors, which i have, with very 
precise motion control and tracking, for example for the joints of a giant 
robot.

The motors I have are a couple of sizes, but I think we should go big and 
use the 500W (2/3 horsepower) motors, so the thing can be expected to cart 
its own batteries around and be autonomous.

never mind, this is a dumb idea.  but i do have the motors and controller, 
and i may be able to get more.  I guess we could build a 4x8 foot laser 
cutter or something mundane like that.
