# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log

• The log primarily consists of connection events (users joining and leaving) with minimal substantive discussion about transhumanist or technical topics.

• A user expressed frustration about being unable to solve a CAPTCHA challenge, sharing a link to a CAPTCHA image (http://blog.phpbb.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/captcha_poc.png).

• The conversation touched on SKDB (Standard Kit of Building Blocks), with ideas for creating a video demonstration showing how the software could enable users to build complex objects like exoskeletons through simple commands.

• Participants discussed the potential for SKDB to generate "tech trees" similar to those in video games, showing dependencies between different manufacturing components and technologies.

• The group identified RepRap (self-replicating 3D printer) as a good candidate for inclusion in SKDB, suggesting a stop-motion video showing RepRap assembling itself to demonstrate its capabilities.

• One user mentioned experimenting with repurposing an inkjet printer to print with soy sauce, highlighting grassroots experimentation with manufacturing technologies.

• The conversation noted challenges in open-source hardware, including the lack of CAD files for many projects and the requirement for human labor in "self-replicating" systems like RepRap.
