I love darts (and now even more)!

Like the largest Nerf gun 🙂

Rally Group B, the good old days

Very cool and informative documentary about the famous “group B” rally races in the 80’s.
I really enjoyed watching this.

Everything that happend in the past is history. Also the 200+ above ground nuclear test the USA did.
At Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory the film material is checked and scanned to preserve it for future Scientists.

Some of the material has been released to the public.
the link to the YouTube playlist can be found HERE.
It’s beautiful Physics and at the same time horrifyingly devastating.

Fast Food restaurants also need to innovate!
So welcome to the robots!

Misco Robots are specialized in it.

Again robot (sport) supremacist!


I already know that soccer robots will rule the world in 10 / 15 years time, but apparently robots are already dominating the table Football world; awesome stuff man.

Now that we are on the subject, any other robotic sports?
YES, they also go head to head in Ping Pong

Or running along with Usain Bolt (but robots found out long ago that wheels are much better then complicated legs!)

And the recent (first) hole in one by a golf robot

In the past there was the talented gymnastic robot
Or the kind a like equestrian robot horses/dogs from Boston Dynamics
And not to forget the cool CGI? boxing robot 😉

3) Last month the famous Glastonbury festival was held in the UK.
Glastonbury data usage per person: +/- 1.2 Mb/h
In other words: 175.000 visitors, 5 days long 1.2 Mb/h = 25 Tb of total data traffic!
They also had WiFi cows;

Funny thing is that temporary network hardware is called: C.O.W. or Cell on Wheels 🙂

link latte nr. 7 the links continue…

1) I came across a very cool offshore solution that I want to share. The company, Ampelmann (of course NOT a German company, but a Dutch one 🙂 ) has a killer logo and specializes in offshore access solutions. In other words, how to get safely and easily from 1 ship to a windturbine or another ship at open sea. The video’s (here and here) are simply amazing and one can easily imagine how comfortable it is to use their technology.

2) Talking about spring/damping systems, here’s a cool animated GIF of a competition race car from the Baja 1000
I really love the way it just drops and doesn’t jump up again; nice and smooth.
ver-gifhahahahaha_(10)

Other “experiments” with suspensions can be found here and here.

3) On imgur you can find these “12 oddly satisfying Gifs for your pleasure“. The last one is my favorite.

4) I like it when somewhat complicated maters are explained swiftly and clearly; the rolling shutter camera effect.

5) very cool video from AMZ Formula student team from Switserland. They broke the world record 0 – 100 km/h in 1.513 seconds!!
