Hey it's just like me. If you see a BFett there's a fair chance it is me. Though there appears to be one other person somewhere in Europe that has the same nick as well.SpacePioneer wrote:Okay
Its actually my username in a lot of places but eh, I figured I'd use it here too
Yeah except mine is a lot more generic lol...It's actually not taken in a lot of places including space or space game forums which always seems to surprise me.BFett wrote:Hey it's just like me.

Robots (Ouuuh, scaaary robots!) is part of it, yeah. I did program a very basic robot before (two (and a half) axis (that could be the title of a tv show...wait a second...), use two motors to move an equipment head to a defined position in a x/y coordinate field and lower it (hence the "half" axis)). But I would have to go to a technical school to study robotics to be an expert in that topic. But to explain it: an automation engineer does everything that has to do with machine automation (or even basic automation, like sliding doors for buildings that only detect you when you are within a 0.5cm2 big area that is like 2 meters to the left of the door or rotating doors that stop when you look angry at them or detect when you are most in hurry and slow down to calm you down a little).Silverware wrote: Hardware or software?
I do a bit of software automation myself, lets me sleep during my job. :V
