25 Robots
Jeff Gough
Parts acquisition is severely complicated by the lack of consensus on a
target number. It has been oscillating wildly, so here's my official bid
to set the number of robots to 25. It's the maximum number of PCBs on
PCB Train's Express service, which is a current likely bet. Also, it's
the number of MSP430s I've ordered. Buying only enough components for 25
may add quite a bit to the soldermask fund, making it more likely to happen.
Does anyone have any objections, or suggestions for other numbers? Some
people like primes, or have their own lucky number, so now's your chance
to say something. Perhaps we should choose the number such that an
n-robots-on-the-wall song lasts precisely the length of our 20 minute
presentation. Someone start simulating that.
