Proposal: Convert HeatSync into a Voltron

To help defray the costs of this proposal I pledge $20 if it passes.

Since the mass access card proposal was withdrawn, I assume this proposal will also be withdrawn officially.

[Moheeb Zara]

No. This proposal makes sense. I will not elaborate.

I found 14" sonotube for cheap and can loan 3 of the 4 cats, however one cat is feral so I have doubts on the schematic provided. Can someone convert the schematic to shop drawings with a bill of materials so we can properly estimate the cost? I think 14" sonotube might be too large. 

Unlike Moheeb, I think the details make it funner.

I misunderstood at first. I thought the plan was much more ambitious with each station to function as independent module that could join together and form a larger hackerspace Voltron.

Even if this was not the original intent I think we should consider this much more ambitious version. I think we have more stations than Voltron sections though. We may have to shift to using multiple modules per limb or shift to a form factor of a crab. Or perhaps a scorpion form with the laser station as the stinger.

To elaborate on Eric and Milton’s ideas, There is a load of space in the rafters. Knowing cats like height, I’d like to suggest (note: I did not use the dreaded word ‘proposal’) that the spaces above be dedicated to the Voltron build. This would stop the inevitable issue of cats and tubes underfoot, tubes break and cats make a god-awful noise thus defeating the quiet takeover that cats are quite capable of. That said, I can offer the much needed fourth cat, he even looks a bit like the one facing forward although his most common activity is napping, usually on my shoes.

I, for one, welcome our feline-hamster-gym-in-the-rafters-Voltron overlord, and I'll also pledge $20 plus a month's supply of cat food.
