The last one was fun because I have logs showing packets from the PC/104 computer stack (running FreeBSD) connected to the robot while it was in midair.
- jacquesm 17y agoHow do you dent a concrete floor with a robot ?
- tlb 17y agoMonty weighs 160 lbs, and at the time had an over-designed metal piece for its neck. A sensor failed and it faceplanted, taking a 1 cm deep chunk out of the concrete. It's still there, under some carpet.
- jacquesm 17y agoSure doesn't look that heavy, maybe I'm misjudging the scale here, I'll have another look at that video. Nice balancing by the way, smooth dampening. Edit: Ah yes, now I see it, that's a small scope and a lab powersupply in the background, I estimated the size off by a lot. I figured the whole thing was about a foot tall or so, sorry!
