    GIRTHQUAKE got a reaction from Zando_ in Channel Super Fun Combat Robots   
    I saw a video a little while back saying CSF had a budget but no one interested in projects. 

    LTT has all the resources, tools, and more to build small combat robots, and there are events all over the place for small weight classes. I thought it would be a fun idea for the channel, and it's something that could bring more than one video, build logs, events, updates/upgrades etc, and It would be something where LMG creativity could really be shown off/put to the test. It's not an elite sport where everyone always brings perfect refined high engineered machines, people enter robots as jokes all the time so the entry requirements are low, a remote control and a dream really.

    Just something I was thinking about sitting on the toilet watching Antweight (1lb) and Beetleweight (3lb) competitions. 

    Anyone else think it would be cool to see an LTT robot?

    Example of what I'm talking about:

    Hit up your hardware store for some tiny nuts, bolts and washers, just make sure they aren't big enough to contact any components or traces

    What's the most odd tech problem you've ever had? Looking for odd explainable/hard to explain problems people have had.
     
    This was a lenovo I was imaging at work. There's a plastic seat the hard drive sits in that clips in to plastic clips in the case. If the seat was snapped in place, the machine wouldn't boot. It it was unlatched, it worked no problem. To this day I don't understand what was happening. After this video I'm posting i went on to remove the metal springs from the seat, swap out power cables and sata cables, and put a thin rubber layer across the bottom of the hdd seat. The problem persisted. If the HDD was unlatched I could flip flop swivel toss roll spin balance it, and it had not problems. The second that latch clicked. DEAD.  I even pulled one of the HDD seats from another one and had the same problem.
