Somebody make sure to not let Craftydan near any electric wires. That includes LiPos.
Yes, that means only gliders next year
I'm good with gliders
Yes. Very.
I hate the feel of 60hz. Not the first time I've felt it, but I always hope it's the last
The power setup was safe when we were done, but while we were still wiring up boxes, someone plugged them in. Completely my fault -- I know better, I should have tagged-out the plug -- but like most accidents, we were in a hurry.
When Thursday hit we had only vague ideas what the build zone would become and no time left to acquire all we needed. Now we have an idea what it can shape out to be, and good concepts of what we need. Time spent planning for next year will mean we've got time to wire everything up, power it all properly and have a skilled tradesman on-site to keep us running
From what I've heard, Josh is planning 3 tents next year -- 2 for standard builds, one for giant builds (a team competition *might* be involved, *maybe* with assigned spaces -- details to follow if it happens, but it may just be 3 standard build tents . . . or more
) . . . and who knows? With three tents, perhaps Josh will get a chance to join us in slathering on Hot glue
Like everything else, that's all tentative (pun intended).
Those are the positive details of the future, for the moment . . . I'll post some of my "room of improvement" a little later. Keep posting what you've seen we can improve
