Here's our final video. Thanks to Clayton for putting in a marathon editing session to get this polished up in time for submission. Enjoy!
In other news our complete slotbot has finally come together today! Pictures will be posted tomorrow showing how it finally turned out.
First impressions from our completed machine:
1. Simplicity is good. We finished assembling/tweaking relatively early today and had some time to work with our machine in the arena and get used to its behavior.
2. Careful design can only get you so far. Regardless of how detailed the preparation, there will always be an unknown unknown that appears. In this case, a simple(r) design meant we had extra time to wrestle with those unknown unknowns and try to work out fixes.
More pictures of the final machine will be taken tomorrow (later today, actually) and added soon.
Over and out.
