Nah. On careful, Double Bastard Ale fueled reflection, I'm done plugging away on this one. I've got the data I need. It'd be nice to get the same data set on Regina running 39, but that isn't gonna happen. It'd be even nicer to get GPS data real time, but going up to a satellite to ask it where it is in relation to something here on the ground 10 times a second is a long shot if you need to be +/- a foot or so. There's a reason nobody is doing auto drive in the course.
Not trying to save anybody's achilles with this deal. No dog in this hunt. Between the heli video, this data, responses to my posts on conservation of angular velocity, the "straight back leg" debate, some "pm" ing with the tech heads on this site,and too many hours of video watching I've debunked (in my own pea sized brain) the harmful teachings that I thought I couldn't understand because I wasn't a gifted athlete. Turns out they were just utter bull shit. "light on the line" for god's sake! "trailing arm pressure", and "open to the boat"/closed to the boat, "COM this" and COM that and on and on.
If you doubt the utter bull shit line, go back and read a magazine article on technique from 10 years ago. And I tried to make all that crap work. And the people who wrote it believed it just as earnestly as the people who write it today.
And while its kind of fun to get horton so exasperated he gives me Pandas and starts talking about his 45 days on this earth and the laws of physics, its not that fun. Now, if I can get him to bet me a new BOS tshirt against the one everybody dog cussed, then I'd get motivated to prove I'm right.
So, anyway, speaking of dogs and hunts its PHEASANT SEASON.
Anybody that wants to make a tracker like I described above, I'd be happy to give you a download of my thoughts. But they're probably worth less than what I'd charge you, which is a beer.
