Why not ally with these guys (http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/05/remote-controlled-humans/) and create Sixaxis-controlled people?]]>Apr 29th 2007 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 29th 2007 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 30th 2007 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 29th 2007 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 29th 2007 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 29th 2007 9:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 29th 2007 8:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 29th 2007 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 29th 2007 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/
And yeah, I think this is cool as hell... totally Poisome!!!]]>Apr 29th 2007 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 30th 2007 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 29th 2007 9:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/when they invented the electric motor people at the time thought it was very interesting, but useless...]]>Apr 29th 2007 9:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/>> That is fantastic. So pointless, but so awesome at the same time. I think we need a word for things like this.

lets call it a "mot" in honor of Tom]]>Apr 29th 2007 9:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/
On a random note, I wonder how hard it would be to implement this into controlling a full size robot (FRC) anyone know if using that type of control is proccessor intensive or what?

And forgive my stupidity, why is it a six-axis controller? I know the x,y,z axes but what are the other 3? Are they rotation axes? Again, sorry for the foolishness of this question. ]]>Apr 29th 2007 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/
The model above is a Stewart Platform, and it's one of the coolest mechanisms on the planet.

Frankly, I didn't ever think the sixaxis controller was worth a damn until seeing that video. That's extremely impressive.]]>Apr 29th 2007 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 30th 2007 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 29th 2007 11:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/
when choosing a slice of bread people always go past the first piece and choose the one behind it, regardles of weather it has a crust or not...

i think we need a word for that]]>Apr 29th 2007 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 30th 2007 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 29th 2007 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 30th 2007 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 30th 2007 1:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 30th 2007 1:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 30th 2007 2:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 30th 2007 2:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 30th 2007 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 30th 2007 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/how about a tosser?]]>Apr 30th 2007 2:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/Apr 30th 2007 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/
As to this device, its mighty cool. I wish they had instructions on how to build your own, I would definitely do it. And the Sixaxis really is that sensitive and responsive, I cant wait until developers take full advantage of it...]]>Apr 30th 2007 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/sixaxis-linux-robot-were-in/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_platform

If you look at the position of the rods, they are not perpendicular to the table. Since the rods are angled, pushing up on one and down on the corresponding will result in rotational movement.]]>Apr 30th 2007 11:05AM
