I did put some time into the replacement engine for my truck too. Here you can clearly see the engine carefully wrapped up in a tarp that protects it from demeaning internet comments. ;]

Electronics, programming and mechanics. technically robotics, but I been off track a while :D
I will make this a double-acting cylinder, but only because I'm too lazy to find/make a return spring for the ram.
52 robots in 52 weeks...
This weeks 'robot' is a milk jug crusher, I have managed to sketch out a design and throw some ballpark engineering at it. This 1.5" PVC should do fine for a pneumatic cylinder, (rated to 300psi, using 80) I shoudl get ~160lbs of force from it.

R🌟 Project Release Announcement Time! 🎉
I wrote a WebUSB extension for Firefox.
This lets web pages access USB devices (with your permission). This has long been supported by Chrome, but Mozilla has not wanted it, at least by default. Fortunately, because add-ons are a thing (for now. make sure to keep fighting for this!), it's possible to change that!
Common reasons for wanting this include programming microcontrollers, 3d-printers, smartphone bootloaders, and similar "physical computing" projects.
This works on Windows, Linux, and macOS
You can get the source code here: https://github.com/ArcaneNibble/awawausb
In order to make this work, you will need to install a small program on your computer. This is explained in the README. You can then install the .xpi file (on the GitHub Releases page) into your browser (which was _just_ auto-approved while I was typing this announcement up).
Please boost (if you want), test, report bugs, etc. etc. (although do keep in mind that this code is entirely written by a single catgirl)
i think this is the perfect type of project to drop late on a sunday / very early on a monday?
ok, I'm down to labeling wires on the mowerbot, wirevis for the other robot, and tetris on the apple IIe.
back in the shop and charging. The cooler worked well, and although the cutter motor is not cold, its not burning hot.
Today I ran the mowerbot around the yard a bit more, It did not tear off the new magnets and the cutter motor cooler didn't fall off or explode.
