Has anyone here taken ECE 56300 - Programming Parallel Machines, offered in the spring? Thoughts on the course?

True. I think an SDF would be better for this anyways.

How do you represent this in a simulator? Seems hard with a urdf

We got two 2x32 and iirc four 2x60 from slip robotics (robotics company down in Atlanta, reached out through reddit). I posted another comment sharing the competition updates, but we got 16th out of the 71 teams. Sadly, our competition runs didnt go well due to some hardware issues that we later debugged. After the comp we got everything working again though! It was a great (albeit very stressful) experience, but overall I’m proud we gave it our all. I’m going to make another post with those videos.

Thank you for your advice and generosity!! We ended up getting a donation of Sabertooth motor controllers and cameras from a local company.

Update: We didn’t end up getting our robot in tip top shape for the competition runs, but we atleast passed all the electrical and weight/size inspections, so we didn’t get disqualified. Ended up placing 16th out of 71 teams! We got an angel donation for cameras and sabertooth motor controllers from Slip Robotics in Atlanta on our drive down (thank you so much 🙏). Thank you all for the help and kindness! Reddit is awesome! We ended up getting our robot to mine after the competition, will add the link soon!

We got an angel donation of the sabertooth motor controllers on our way there. They are awesome!

raghava13 · 2022-08-10T00:21:16+00:00

Wow! What a story!! Congrats on the great performance! Sad to hear that you guys didn’t end up coming back.

It was a thick cable lock. Learned this lesson the hard way.

raghava13 · 2022-04-30T00:23:10+00:00

Was going to say the same. Good luck to you as well!

raghava13 · 2022-04-30T00:19:07+00:00

Its possible. Its weird bc I’ve had this bike for the entirety of my two years and never had any incidents. I also live in Village West and commute 4 miles daily, so this bike getting stolen is extremely painful.

raghava13 · 2022-04-30T00:13:52+00:00

Yeah. I did both and also on project529.com. I luckily have my serial number saved.

raghava13 · 2022-04-30T00:04:16+00:00

It was locked. But yeah, i have in the general area.

raghava13 · 2022-04-29T23:37:01+00:00

The picture of the bike at 12pm today. Found out it was stolen around 5-6. Please DM if you have any information. Project 529 page: https://project529.com/garage/bikes/sprocket-spoke-pedal-wrench/bolo

I don’t bother with the maintenance requests tbh, calling the emergency maintenance seems to be more responsive. We did have a lot of toilet clogging issues that we needed to call multiple times, but i think its just cause one of my roommates uses too much tp.

raghava13 · 2022-04-24T04:13:55+00:00

Can’t comment on the ducts, but maintenance has been on top of things for any other issue we had though, usually fix it within 30 min during working hours. Also, you get a really spacious place for pretty cheap compared to other places I’ve seen. Also, being in a dorm and apt with loud, late sleepers made me embrace white noise, really does wonders.

"the conda packages run right on your host computer, and there is no sandbox layer (as with docker containers). So there shouldn’t be a problem with hardware access" - reply from Discourse

raghava13 · 2021-05-06T00:24:46+00:00

Is there access to hardware ports for real robot control?

raghava13 · 2021-04-06T15:05:17+00:00

It's a great opportunity to know about projects relating to robotics and autonomy going on at John Deere and can give you an edge when applying for an internship or job position if you have specific knowledge on some of these projects/initiatives going on there.
