Goodbye Stacker, Hello Slapper

We're back at the sheep with the stick of yesterday's failure washed off like one of those get-in-the-shower-with-all-your-clothes-on like they do in Hollywood.

We tore off the sheep stacker and settled for a grabby arm. And it works fine. It's an insult to the genius of the sheep stacker but it took 15 minutes to build and it's FINE.

That's the best thing about Lego robotics - you don't have to commit to anything.

Here it is in action. it can grab sheep, and it can slap sheep, and after the disappointment of yesterday, I really really like that it can slap sheep.

Figure 3: Surprise, there's a second arm

Figure 4: Temba, his arms open (10 points if that sentence means anything to you)

Figure 5: Full spread

Here's a sheep getting slapped.
