Go Texas Longhorns!
yeah, last night was fun, it was nice to see everyone again. Now I just need a rotor....and the car to go with it.
Does anyone has a rotor piece that is broken I could have for my office, I'd like to have a rotor on my desk.

Humm, real rotor and housing would be pretty heavy, maybe if I could borrow a real rotor, housing and excentric shaft, I could create a template and make it out of wood with a small DC motor and put that on the desk.

I was just thinking about it and if I reduced the scale to say 50%, I could make the housing fit on say a 8x11" paper and then make it out of hardwood. Something like Birdseye Maple would look really nice on a desk.
You might have to settle for a prototype. This could also get pretty time consuming as well. I have no access to a CNC machine so this will be hand made.
I also have another idea about using the excentric shaft to drive a second hand of a clock. Maybe later.

Sorry I couldn't go. I was up the night before making a crib sheet for my circuits quiz, which I got a 100 on anyways. Bragging makes me feel like a big man :D. J/K everyone

Sorry ML about your stolen RX-8. Someone stole my boss' truck outside of work, in broad daylight, and it was Valentine's Day; he had just bought some presents for his wife, and some rat bastard ran off with his truck. That's why I don't even let people look at my car.

Yup, it's almost that time again.
Our next club meeting will be held at Fuddrucker's located at 3929 Southwest Freeway near Weslayan. (see map below) PLEASE let me know you are coming so we can setup the tables properly!
We will meet in the parking lot about 6:30PM and head inside for dinner about 7:15PM. Be sure to bring your attention and thinking caps for this one as we have some interesting club business to talk about.
