15:52	Split	sooooooo
15:52	Split	auto targeting hpa powered launcher that shoots around walls
15:52	Spice9	Balls.
15:53	Split	school will pay for basically everything but the hpa tank
15:53	Split	plus FULL machine and chemical and supply access
15:54	Spice9	I'm so jealous.
15:54	Spice9	I don't even know what I would do with that kind of access.
15:55	Split	i can't even think of ways to use them all really
15:55	Spice9	Paralyzed by choice.
15:56	Split	suprisingly, more like overwhelming to my design process
15:56	Split	normally we have so many technical constraints
15:56	Split	and resource restraints
15:56	Split	and now they're just like: nope
15:56	Split	do whatevs.
15:57	Split	m like WHERE START
15:57	Spice9	Basically.
15:57	Split	maybe i'll make the axes out of metal
15:57	Split	if i do the body out of metal, it'll move too slow
15:57	Split	anyway
15:58	Split	the idea, i'm sure you can guess, just to use either a push release valve, or if i want to spend more money and get more, more variable power, qevs
15:58	Split	initially i'll just stick with the push valve i think
15:59	Spice9	That's a good plan.
15:59	Spice9	Are you going to make swappable hopper clips?
15:59	Split	it'll take a lot more testing to do the wev, on top of the tons i already have
15:59	Split	well, similarly i could do hoppers, or a fancy system i've been working on
16:00	Split	i'll probably stick with the hoppers for this
16:00	Split	oh shit

16:00		+++ ChanServ has given voice to rork
16:00	Split	maybe i could use the cncs for an adaptation of the nstrike breech
16:01	Spice9	Oooooooooo.
16:01	Split	i also had the idea to hook the whole thing up to a stampede
16:01	Split	not the hpa, just the electronics
16:01	Split	also to make the normal hpa gun removable and turn off the electronics on the fly
16:03	Split	run around with an optimized hpa gun
16:03	Split	the fancy clip is the adapted p90 clip
16:03	Split	which i could totally make out of metal, but it'd be better if i didn't
16:03	Spice9	Crazy.
16:03	Split	doubt they'll give me transparent aluminum
16:04	Split	you should help me with the math
16:04	Spice9	I'll try.
16:04	Spice9	I can't promise too much help.
16:04	Split	i'm sure you'll be fine
16:05	Split	will TI calcs do series of non liner equations?
16:05	Spice9	I have no idea.
16:06	Split	i'm going to finish this before ben finishes fang i bet
16:06	Split	though he's doing a much more complicated firing system
16:06	Spice9	Heh.
16:06	rork	If that gun/project ever got finished...
16:07	rork	hell of a thing.
16:07	Split	did the recentchat work for you rork?
16:07	rork	yeah
16:07	Split	nice
16:08	Split	auto targeting hpa powered launcher that shoots around walls if you missed it
16:08	rork	it was pretty sweet coming in on half a conversation, as opposed to in the middle
16:08	Split	i eventually want to add in dodge predicting
16:08	rork	holy bawls
16:08	rork	heat seeking stefans?
16:09	Split	15:53 Split school will pay for basically everything but the hpa tank 15:53 Split plus FULL machine and chemical and supply access
16:10	Split	the other thing you missed was just talking about how hard it is to use the machine shop/resources to their full potential
16:10	Split	not particularly relevant
16:10	rork	I can imagine
16:11		*** TED joined #nerfhaven Mibbit@dm-11466.dhcp.embarqhsd.net
16:11	rork	nerf guns are really built around the idea that the esier/simpler they are to fabricate, the more successful they'll be

16:11	rork	Homemades that is
16:11	Split	but yeah, if the gun can predict dodging, it'd be fun in a war

16:11	rork	hey
16:12	TED	stfu noob
16:12	rork	Fuck off, fatty
16:12	rork	But yeah, that'd be cool, in a crazy-suitcase-gun kinda way
16:15	Split	pretty sure it'd be cooler in many more ways than that
16:16	rork	Yeah, but who'd let you use it for more than 1 round?
16:16	Split	not talking about using it in a round
16:16	Split	if anything, you could build a round aruond it where it has hit sensors and you have to beat the robot or something
16:16	rork	Oh alright
16:16	TED	no it wouldn't
16:17	ChanServ	Sorry, you can only have 100 bans on a channel.
16:17	rork	hell, everyone would have to admit you know what the fuck you're doing, anyway.
16:17	Split	how about adding it to a bicycle and doing drivebys
16:17	Split	or driving in a car and shooting random stuff
16:18	rork	"They called me mad--MAD! But when they see my self-targeting metal nerf gun emplacement, they'll think again!"

16:19	Split	ted does not offer constructive criticism
16:19	rork	hahaha
16:19	rork	indeed
16:19	rork	Is that essentially his IRL persona as well?
16:20	Split	nah
16:20	Split	not always, at least
16:20	rork	I gotcha
16:22	Split	so the whole first part of the project is to make and optimize the semi auto gun
16:22	Split	and a big part of it is to give it a predictable barrel velocity
16:24	rork	super consistency being the goal?
16:24	Split	well no
16:25	Split	optimizing almost always means maximizing efficiency
16:25	rork	Ah, I gotcha
16:25	Split	need less energy for the same range etc etc
16:25	rork	so sort of like FANG
16:25	rork	but with electronics and shit
16:26	Split	the only similarities i'm seeing are that they're engineering projects and that they shoot nerf guns
16:26	Split	but sure
16:26	Split	shoot nerf darts*
16:26	rork	eh, fair
16:27	rork	I dont pretend to be an engineer, or really know more than the basics of what go into these kinds of projects.
16:27	Split	gotcha
16:27	Split	that's fine
16:27	rork	But they are cool, at least theoretically
16:28	Split	it'd be awesome to buy a chrono that i can just slap on the end
16:28	Spice9	Oooooh again
16:28	Spice9	.
16:29	Split	so as i change barrels and darts it can just do a couple of tests fires and self optimize
16:29	rork	robotic nerf gun is a robot.
16:29	Split	i'd also eventually like to add a servo that manipulates the regulator
16:29	rork	Will it have a port for your droid?
16:29	rork	:P
16:29	Split	lol
16:29	Split	that's a great fucking idea
16:30	rork	I'm only...1/3 joking
16:30	Split	i'd have to learn java though, and i'm not particularly interested in that
16:30	rork	hahaha
16:30	rork	I there are nerds for that sort of thing
16:30	Split	nah, i said it could shoot around walls and auto target, but i haven't worked out how it'd sense people behind walls
16:30	rork	*I think
16:30	Split	so if it could find a wall (shouldn't be an issue) i can just tell it where the target is relative to that
16:31	Split	but then i'd need to carry around or build in an interface
16:31	Split	a droid would be perfect for that
16:31	rork	hahaha
16:32	Split	anyway, i'm talking about speculative stuff way too early
16:32	Split	i write this stuff down, but that probably won't come until at least next semester
16:34	rork	Well, when you build it, you need to take it to the midwest. Then Ryan can tell everyone that they need an electronic robo-cannon, and everything else sucks now.
16:35	Spice9	Heh.
16:36	Split	lol
16:36	Split	you know what class this is for?
16:37	Split	(yeah, getting paid AND a grade for this awesomeness)
16:37	Split	Freshman engineering clinic 1
16:37	Split	first time teacher who runs all of the machine shops
16:37	Spice9	What's the word on the Fauximizers, Split?
16:37	Split	this weekend's project
16:37	rork	Thats a pretty sweet deal you've got there
16:38	Split	yeah, gonna get as much as i can out of the way before i spend too much time on this
16:38	Spice9	awesome.
16:38	Split	if they're done this week, the kingbow is next week, though it'll tkae a bit longer with the fancy plans we changed to
16:38	Spice9	Daaaang.
16:38	rork	kingbow?
16:38	Split	which means you need to make some decisions on what that is
16:38	Spice9	A'ight.
16:38	Split	on what we talked about*
16:39	Spice9	Just tell me what you need from me, since I kind of forgot. :(
16:39	Split	kk
16:39	Split	just a quick note on the class: half of the kids haven't had any physics, let along engineering design and learning to optimize things
16:40	Spice9	Ah.
16:40	Split	first semester first year class for these kids
16:40	Split	i'm just in there because of a fluke
16:40	Split	was mad about it until like, yesterday.
16:41	rork	Then you realized that you can screw around with cool stuff?
16:44	Split	lol, screw around
16:45	Split	mainly that they're letting me do any (single) project i want with full access to the machine shops
16:45	rork	super sweet
16:45	Split	wind tunnels, high speed camera, 5 axis $200k cncs
16:46	rork	O my
16:46	Split	laser cutter with basically infinite acrylic for it
16:46	Split	all of the top $ gauges and measuring tools
16:47	Split	virtual reality room
16:48	Split	goes on and on, but i'm drawing a blank
16:48	Split	besides the VR room i'm planning on using as much as i can
16:49	rork	Oh, for sure
16:49	rork	Focusing on what's possible, as opposed to practical/available to anyone else
16:49	Split	shit man, my clip system gets like infinitely easier now that i have access to these things
16:49	Split	should churn out of a couple of em
