It blows me away what you can do with a limitless supply of other people's money!  Nikita Khrushchev would be well proud of DARPA!

I find that very uplifitng, even if you had that money, you would still fear failure, and thus limit yourself. We do it all the time, we are limiting ourselves because of past failures, or doubt, but we should not; you just need to focus on what you want to achieve.

"you would still fear failure, and thus limit yourself" - This is so true... You know what I'm learning through this hobby? Success is built on top of a pile of mistakes. Success is when you know how to avoid failure, and to avoid it, you must experience it.

This is what i like about living in this time and age, the Internet has accellerated the learning of mankind, and in our hobby the mistakes not to make, and thus learn from others.

Chris what were you doing in there at the end? 

Comment by Rob McDougall on January 5, 2013 at 6:27pm

Godess. Giver of dreams.

I have distributed my gyro/accel SW drivers for free and helped many people with their balancing robots.

Money has nothing to do with glory.

To fail is not a reason to stop, Hummingbird is astounding, it puts tears in my eyes.

I made a video of a fly that took 1 year to make the 3-axis macro helicon focus machine ,

 I was the first person in the world to do it

i am excited about tomorrow
