Have you ever found something so hipnotic that you can sit and watch it for hours? That's what happened to me after programming this AdventureBot to track and chase a red ball. One evening I was working late and maybe I felt lonely or something, because I ended up using ARC to program this robot to chase a red ball. He kept me entertained all evening.

Watch the video and you can see why!

That reminds me, what ever happened to the Lidar for SLAM? https://synthiam.com/redirect/legacy?table=plugin&id=212

Transition to the new manufacturing facility priority has delayed the new products by a few weeks. When Alan returns from China, he’ll have a estimated projection for the new product release dates. I’m guessing late March or April.
