$50 from Scott Kaine

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Monday, April 7th, 2008

After a most generous donation of $10 from uC Hobby, I was absolutely astonished when I had yet another email from PayPal, with a $50 donation!

This $50 donation is from Scott Kaine. Check out his blog, it’s pretty spifftastic! I’m at a loss for words. Thank you so much Scott! It truly means a lot to me. Thank you thank you thank you thank you multiplied by 1 zillion!

Not exactly sure what I will spend it on just yet. Perhaps a Wii Nunchuck controller, and a Motor Shield so I can use my 2 DC motors and make a different type of Segway! I’m thinking something like a skateboard, with a big surface area and big tires so I can balance. For some reason, the idea of a big stick in front just doesn’t cut it for me. (I want to be a RoboSk8r!) I don’t have much mass, so I think I could get away with using big wheels with a gear ratio for lots of power, and some speed, in a wooden chassis. I would use metal, but I have no clue where I could get some. Or I could use plastic from Ponoko! That way it will be pink. Or lime green! The possibilities are only limited to infinity – 1.

   I love your site. I found your blog via Google while searching for skateboard massachusetts and your post regarding m Scott Kaine at RobotGrrl.com looks very interesting to me. It really looks very nice. The articles provided are long enough to provide great content but not so long as to be totally engrossing, if you know what I mean.
