Shields up and ready for Monday's #severe #weather

Well I guess it's time to reevaluate my hail netting setup. We got a spring hailer last night that basically wiped out almost 2 weeks of growth off the plants (and possibly killled a few). My guess is the netting was too high up to fully protect from wind driven hail coming in sideways.

With the rest of this week being filled with #severeweather I am hoping my freshly transplanted #communitygarden plots survive. I am trying to protect the Night Shade Forest (peppers and eggplants) with hoops and hail netting. Hopefully the temp PLA #3dprint clamps hold until the ASA ones are ready.

Here is a clip of it running. Not speed up, and a meter stick is in the foreground if you want to time it yourself. For spending 45 mins on it, including the programming, it's not a half bad Electric Vehicle.

At Science Olympiad practice today, I got bored and built a test bed for the #GoBilda servos. It is mostly made of stuff laying around the classroom.

The "Super Speed" servos are giving me about 1.33 m/s using 120mm diameter wheels on ~6v. I think with 7.2v I can get up to 1.65 m/s. #scioly
