Most of them are not going into the flames automatically.
- johnwyles 6y agoeveryone is coming up with more complicated systems to usher it to the flames (e.g. vacuum it up and robotic arm drop it in, hook up a fan on low speed, etc) when it's really as simple as steepening the angle it drops in. also about 2 hours ago they didn't have a spot light on the subject to be torched so maybe they will get there. it certainly re-energized the creative side of me to think up some similar live stream rube goldberg device so i like where their head is at
- thatdetroitandy 6y agoAppreciate that. Most everything on this is a hack. Slowly improving it as we go along. Steeper ramp today helped a lot.
- ultrarunner 6y agoIt rained earlier and it looked like papers were getting stuck on the damp slide into the dumpster. Later on things were going a little more smoothly, except for one that caught fire but then made it out of the dumpster. I don't remember what it said, but it was my favorite. Anyway, this is basically the epitome of 2020 development work for me. I wrote a whole bunch of well-tested code ahead of an event last weekend. At the last moment, a director changed the layout of the event in about the only way I hadn't foreseen. All my careful tests passing didn't make my code work during the event, which led to a bunch of manual correction the code was meant to avoid. I imagine the Hey team feels a little similar when tests work great and then the humidity ramps up. Both are working now, though, so all's well that ends well :)
