While we are on the subject of this wonderful, liquid-at-room-temp metal. TO247 for size reference. Unfortunately it's a bit oxidized, but I don't feel like cleaning it right now.

It should be just around 2kg. I found it at the dump, some dentist must have thrown it away to avoid all the work related to disposing of it in a safe way. So I did the only responsible thing and removed it smile

eek, make sure to keep your fingers out of those things amazed

Anyone else go to FIRST

the active part of the team (I am the one hiding behing the robot wearing black) and the electronics board I made

1206252522 56 FT6000 Team 1206252588 56 FT6000 Electronics

The arm I drew and later helped build
1206252648 56 FT6000 Arm 1206252534 56 FT6000 Arm

The idea was to move this big ball arround the track, although it turned out that we weren't very good at doing that so we ended up placing 35 out of 52 teams. Oh well...

The money (a bit over $5k) comes from our school district, and the kids come of their own accord by word of mouth and the promise of power tools wink

Mystery photo! I found these on the bumper of my car this morning. I know what they are made of (salt from water on the road) but I have no idea why they formed the way they did, in the same way as a lichtenberg figure).
