Very, very cool read.
Unfortunately the pictures are lost, but the text is still awesome.

This is from the same guy that made break beam eyes on guns a reality.

Very, very cool read.
You found it! Holy crap.
I read that years ago and was totally fascinated by it.
Curt put it back up for us.
I am currently trying to persuade him to come over here and check out what we are up to
Curt was a mind that was wasted in or on paintball. he is one of those special people that after the problem or problems are solved, there is little to no interest, IMO. plus, when he was coding and debugging EverQuest, he grew out of the sport, which was sad. but i hope that i'm wrong, there is still a whole lot of life that can be put into paintball. would love to see what he can do with 10 years difference between what he did with the Cheetah & Morlock board and what he could do with the OLED and other developments in chip, programming and board tech.
but Curt is one of the good people that made paintball interesting in the 2000's and made the Tinker's Guild one of the best most informative forums to go to.
We NEED him to come over here. Would be awesome to get his help on building an even better Pico style hopper.
Plus his insight into some of the other projects here would be priceless.

Read, loved, saved. Thank you so much for getting in touch with him Simon!

Hey Josh: still have your Cheetah board you won?
This was a great read, and helpful to know where an EE can go in paintball!
I wonder how many hits that page has since it was re-upped. I know I've gone to it once every day as I can only read so much before my head starts to hurt and the text turns into Charlie Brown's teacher.
