A difficult Robot Hospital

We had some internet connectivity issues this week (thanks TimeVision ViaCable VeriziCast MegaCorp) so unfortunately our Robot Hospital broadcast is broken up over a few archives…this one is just one of a few, so make sure to check out our Ustream show page for more…and disregard the 30-second ones.  Grr.

This is the blogwrap section of the show, were we recap our first artist in residence, Marius Watz, and the awesome (and fairly straightforward) Cupcake via Bluetooth hack.  We also showed off some awesome models from the Thing-A-Day and Mashup challenges.

We also want people to know about this MOSFET-based extruder motor fix; unlike the now-standard relay fix, it preserves both reverse and PWM.

In this section, Matt shows us how to take your 3d designs from 3d Tin into Wings3d, and re-iterates the importance of a 3-button mouse for Wing3d.

Somewhere in there, we also show off this awesome video: http://vimeo.com/19845978 (Should be ready in a few minutes, if you’re seeing this right as I post it.)

And lastly, don’t forget to pick up your hearts!

    Awesome show even through the problems. No fair showing the video at the end though with it just out of reach. I can’t wait till you release it.
