[Blackpool] Not my finest move

[Arthur Garlick]

Oh it was working with flashing lights after you left Elizabeth.  Having flown RC planes for a while, I'm used to spending time and money on something and due to some small mistake coming home with nothing much more than rubbish in a plastic bag...  oh well.
Here's the video I shot on Saturday, I'll blog it a bit...

Oh no!   I am so glad I got to see & admire it before it took flight.

The idea is you visually animate the robot in the software and from that generate data of positions and timings of the servos that can be used in the Robots code.  Lots of people already have done this but it seems it's normally done with 'frames' whereas I want to do it with a proper timeline aligned to the 20ms servo pulses.

It has lights, noise, two servos for the arms and two sharp rangefinders to detect kids trying to take sweets from a bowl infront of it.  .  All hooked up to Arduino and controlled by Scratch for Arduino.  Its for the Halloween coderdojo.

It doesn't need to be as wordy as mine (and probably better not going on as much as me!).  Just write a sentence or whatever you are comfortable with and then people can choose to join in or bring something they have that's related.  I am always up for help, helping and collaborating.
