I really appreciate the level of documentation -- I aspire to eventually publish a project of mine this way. I've been struggling with PCB/circuit design and documentation -- here OP lists the schematics, but I can't find layouts. Can anyone hint at what software was used to produce these plans? The JSON sources hint there might be layouts in there! EDIT: Answered my own question: it's EasyEDA https://imgur.com/a/1xOuyB6 https://imgur.com/a/1xOuyB6

Robots that combine the mobility advantages of both wheels and legs are going to proliferate, I think. I saw vids of a Chinese "dog" style robot with wheels shredding like Tony Hawk, climbing stairs and even small walls, etc. If this footage is real, and Chairman Xi gets it in his head to airdrop them on our shores, the West is cooked.

  NASA branded things have been big in China since as early as 2019, peaking in 2021. https://fashion.sina.cn/s/fo/2019-04-28/detail-ihvhiqax5468293.d.html?from=wap https://fashion.sina.cn/s/fo/2019-04-28/detail-ihvhiqax54682... https://www.zhihu.com/question/337494558 https://www.zhihu.com/question/337494558 https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/931153568796681979/answer/4578045991.html https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/931153568796681979/answer/...

    Interesting, the forum post seems like it's the same thing as National Geographic in South Korea: https://www.instagram.com/ng_apparel/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/ng_apparel/?hl=en

  Is bilibili a general video site like youtube over there? Or hacker-specific?

    It's a good question because china does tend to operate that way in terms of it's microblogs (renren is a good place to find a job!). Youku is their main youtube, although even that's not right because it's sorta twitch meets netflix meets youtube. bilibili (b-station) is what I'd call "deviantart meets hackernews of video".
