VEX V5 General Discussion General Forum

Great forum. Too bad there is not more enthusiasm with VEX. Well… maybe we can change that.

Myself? Retired U.S Army Airborne/Signal Corps (no, I’m not going to teach you how to safely throw your bot out of a plane), Married with first child on the way due in March, Ultralight pilot and flight instuctor, Am Photographer, and tinkerer of all trades.

Sheer boredom and need for an extra hobby drew me to VEX, However my first RC bots were the Rokenboks (yeah, I’m a kid at heart).

Anyway, glad to be here. :slight_smile:

CAUTION: Trying to figure out my username, might just tick you off! :wink:

Welcome! I very much like your quote:
“All we can hope to do in robotics, is to come as close
as technology and ethics will allow.”
I am writing a paper on robo-ethics, so you can see why I like it.
About your user name, let’s see how long it takes for someone to figure it out. Two times are…?

Cheers!

Thanks. If you want to use it, you can, just be sure to use my full quote and don’t take it out of context… It goes together, if you think about it.

I will PM you a name to credit it under.

As for my username… Yes you got the first part right. :slight_smile:

Let me give you the rest… now mind you, it may disturb some people. :wink:

Here goes…

In other words… I SCORED! :smiley:
