When reading the wikipedia page I was surprised to learn that: "In 1997, Airtrax Incorporated and several other companies each paid the US Navy $2,500 for rights to the technology, including old drawings of how the motors and controllers worked, to build an omnidirectional forklift truck"

This was more than 20 years ago, but $2,500 seems on the low end for a usage-license. This patent is pretty interesting after all. Does anyone have any knowledge in this area? Is that average for these types of patents, or is the Navy giving it away for cheap to incentivize new innovation?

'97 was 25 years after the original patent was filed, so the original patent was well expired.

I would guess that what they were buying from the Navy were literally just the implementation notes, because even if the patent covers all of the original, key, patent-able ideas, it can still be a bitch to go from that to an actual working implementation.

You are my hero. Thanks a lot, that was it!

Nope, it was a standalone app. It ran on Mac OS (and maybe Linux). I am thinking it started with a B? Oh well, I am sure I will stumble upon it some day;)

Although experiences across different states can differ. The OP states having moved to a different country. This entails new culture, language and traditions for many countries.

Of course this is more likely to happen in Europe where countries are smaller and borders, well aren't borders anymore.

The United States is a huge country and the job opportunities and lifestyle in Mexico may not seem beneficial to most citizens.

I had to type the url exactly like this:

Other links just failed for me. They definitely messed something up. Or I am missing something central here.

Well I think thats cause on the one hand a supporter might consider " the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together..." as true while another might consider "the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster, that defiles innocence" as true. Depending on ones opinion something is true for one but not true for another. A person might only be able to see their own side of things without allowing other opinions. So I guess fallacy is a somewhat appropriate term here:)

Given how many applicants MIT gets I do not think that 5-10 people would be enough to seriously upset them. Don't forget they can just get a couple more students with perfect SATs if they want. Furthermore, like the author said, it wasn't MIT as a community that went after Aaron, it was the administration.

5-10 who write means hundreds more who feel the same but didn't write

I made a bunch of fixes. Thanks for the feedback again. Let me know if you find any other issues with it.

Hey guys, I am the one who wrote this little post. My friend suggested to submit it to HN. I didn't expect to land on the front page. I'll make sure to fix all the bugs and spelling mistakes and improve the examples etc. Thanks a lot for the feedback.
