We were finally able to get our hands on some robot!
Due to the coronavirus lockdown, and our team members living so far apart, we have been unable to actually meet up until now.
We met up all day at the Italic Pig office in Holywood, NI.
Finally being back in each other's company was a bit odd, because some of us forgot that the other people in the group actually had legs. However, 12 subway cookies, 3 subway sandwiches, 4 brownies, 3 protein bars and 2 packets of grapes later, we were well on our way.
All the online work done so far definitely paid off. This physical meet up was by far been our most productive session, especially with our new team member Cormac.
We built the arena, and achieved successful runs on both the Feed the Fish and Tidy up the Toys challenges. The difference of productivity between online and physical meet ups is immeasurable, and we are planning to have another meet up in a few Saturdays to work on improving our runs even more.
Here's a video of our autonomous toy stacker run with a time of 1:04.
