 To: Dave McIntyre; RE RTX contest:
 Didn't win anythng in the 2nd round ( I barely sent in a valid entry)
 but my first round entry was:
 control for a pipe intersection cutting machine, to ritate a pipe, move
 an oxy-fuel or plasma torch axially, and rotate the torch angle to vary
 the bevel, keeping surface speed constant.  (thats rotate pipe above)
 Since then I havent yet worked out an uncoupled robust torch rotater;
 but I have used the New Micros 6811 board with a 2-axis interface I
 already designed for another application to control cuts with a constant
 bevel. Prototype works great.
 Intersections are 1. Saddle 2. Offset perpendicular 3. Oblique
 intersection 4. Mitre.
 In the entries for contest I didnt send any algorithms as i would
 consider them proprietary for now.
