Noise From Six On Hardwood Floor - Any Ideas ?

Having the Six move around on a hardwood floor is quite noisy. I'm pretty sure the neighbor one floor down is going to kill me soon if i don't do anything about it - and we also know that 4am is the best time to do a quick test on a new move :-)

Has anyone done anything about this problem on their Six ? Like:

  • putting rubber soles on the robot ? door stoppers maybe ?
  • rubber coating the end of the feet ?
  • knitting robot socks ? making robot shoes ?

Besides that, is it best to have traction or to allow the Six to slip a little bit ? I noticed it does slip a little with the standard movements - but it could have it walk more with its feet up if needed.

I gotta say, I cant go with this no sleep stuff anymore. It is really affecting my thought process and typing. I cleaned up my previous post to make it more clear as to what I was trying to say.

@d.cochran touch aware fingers would be nice, but that would be another project in itself, not right now anyway.

Exactly. Having 3d printer issues right now. Yay, I get to play tech too:)

I like the furry fingers. They would be cool on a six.
