Ive had luck using acrylic paints in electronics projects. Its conductive while wet but ok when dry. I fully second the small scale tests comment. Perhaps using a heaterizer to fully dry the conductive paint woul solve blending issues.

Tutorial - IOIO for Android Beginners Guide | about a year ago

Thankyou for the tutorial!
Got this all up and running on an EVO 4G in a couple hours.
The example works as intended on the first run, but it always force quits on resume (for me)…Still have to figure out why…

I foresee this having the same commitment issues of robojoust, but if you guys report that a few people are signing up I’m in…I just don’t want to be the only participant this time.
First impression idea: simple line follower or something that drives along getting power from a rail (like a trolley) but the further it goes the higher the supply voltage…eventually it’ll go so fast it can’t control line following and then simultaneous magic smoke (from high voltage) and loss of control occur…perhaps with fireworks for effect.

Would have been an 8 hour drive fore me…had I not done the drive for the failed robojoust I might have come…maybe next year.

While no one is going to take your comment that seriously, because it makes virtually no sense (without real details), what happened was Freeday, almost exactly one month ago, when they gave away $100,000 in goods. So, yeah, they have stagnated a marginal amount, dealing with 1000 crazy orders will do that.

Dan: I checked
Apparently the first Google link for something isn’t on your check list…not everything ends in .com (thank goodness).

not to say i haven’t used arduinos…i’ve just never shelled out for something i can easily put together on a breadboard for about $10 (with 8+ more IO pins and occasionally only 8 pins if needed :) )
