Oh sad, a podcast. This is usually the one thing I watch over the weekend. Thank god for the east with Contra and Mega Man I suppose.

I don't think he was going to keep anybody from enjoying it. I also bet he already knew if he should watch or not without you telling him too.

@skinky: I guess I'd need more information. For robotics I've been using xmos processors due to the multithreaded real-time nature. If you want to do something beyond lidar like proper vision, or most of the related vision uses, you have to use something else due to a lack of memory. Although you can connect a bit of flash memory for storage or some sdram but it can be more trouble than it's worth when other solutions exist.

What are your full plans for it? I'd probably be more into the inmoov if it were made for hydraulics, then you could actually make something.

Inmoov hardly needs much of anything custom. Certainly from a hardware point of view. Just buy a couple of teensys. I think you need something like 5,1 for each hand, 1 for each arm and 1 for head/neck. The other way if you're trying to add kinect is a 5*5 pc, they're also fairly common. Then you're using ros though and that turns the whole thing into some art project where all you do is print parts, sand them, and put them together.

What is it you like about inmoov? I see 3 of these things every month and the guys who have them talk endlessly about them but all say the same things. Printing, servos, assembly time, and software by someone else using things like ros or ezrobot. Anyway I'd be interested in hearing why you wanted to do this.

Also I don't know how much people are talking about this on forums so if you want some guys at rssc.org have them and love talking about them. Nobody uses the forums though, just the yahoo mailing list. One guy is 100% done, the university robot teacher started his about 2 months ago and hes putting it together pretty quickly, and there is one other guy but I'm not sure about him. He's very slow at making it and hasn't finished printing. Anyway they'd all probably be happy to talk to you about it if you wanted to.

I'm sort of sad that this is what I get on sunday morning. Another anime fighter.

barely matters, people like to be outraged though. Makes them feel like they're fighting for something? I don't know. Microtransactions by and large are described as "dirty" but what does it really matter. The industry will adapt to survive the financial issues they face or they'll go away entirely. You could whine about profits but why bother if they don't make any money.

this game looked awful and made for such a boring video for me. Let's hope we can get passed obscure garbage people vote for because its obscure garbage.
