Adventurebot Chasing Red Ball

DJ Sures

Canada

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!

@DJ, that is hypnotic! Did we see you scoot Adventure "Wall.E" Bot with your foot at time index 1:08? And there was a joy pad control right there on your phone too! lol

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.
