GeekMomProjectsMy AntWeight combat robot (named "Jeff") is getting a downsized weapon motor + ESC to stay under the 1lb (US <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AntWeight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AntWeight</a>) limit. The original set was 100g, and the (tiny!!!) replacement, which just arrived, weighs only 20g. I'm curious to see how much damage it can do. I hope to spend time this weekend designing a (drum roller) weapon prototype and building a containment box where I'll be able to safely observe Jeff wreaking havoc. Goal: maximum havoc! <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BattleBots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BattleBots</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CombatRobot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CombatRobot</a>

Maker Karen<a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#introduction</a>Hello, I'm Karen and my background is <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/mechanicalengineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mechanicalengineering</a>. I have a day job career in <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/projectmanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#projectmanagement</a> for the design, installation and startup of food and beverage <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/manufacturing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#manufacturing</a> <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/packaging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#packaging</a> and <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/processing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#processing</a> equipment for large <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/CPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CPG</a> companies. It has held my attention for the past 25 years, (<a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/GenX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenX</a>) and, though stressful at times, I do enjoy it.I am also a <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#maker</a>. I founded a <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/nonprofit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nonprofit</a>, incidentally called <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/IAmAMaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IAmAMaker</a> or AKA [ I am a Maker ]. I feel strongly that everybody has the capacity to make, whether it is food, photography, electronics, software, fiber arts, artisan crafts, wood or metal working, writing, really anything. Creating something from nothing is what we do as humans and I encourage others to exercise their mind in the process of creation. My primary mode of <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#making</a> is <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sewing</a>. However, I also <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#crochet</a>, and experiment with concrete for making <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/candles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#candles</a> and other home goods. I make items to sell to fund the nonprofit activities that include community service projects, a <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/combatrobot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#combatrobot</a> event, <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/hebocon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hebocon</a>, <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/DenverAreaFactoryTours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DenverAreaFactoryTours</a> and monthly free activities that bring the local community together from the surrounding areas of <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/Longmont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Longmont</a> <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/Boulder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Boulder</a> and <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/Niwot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Niwot</a> in <a href="https://frontrange.co/tags/Colorado" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Colorado</a>.The reason I started the nonprofit was to encourage people to take control of their own creativity and own it, no matter what it is they make. My hope is that others will give themselves the permission to start something new, try a new hobby and share with one another.
