$A Robot That Juggles? Why Did I Even Start This?? | Channel Intro Welcome to my channel, where I take on the slightly crazy challenge of building a juggling robot! In this short introduction video, Ill give you a quick rundown of my Jugglebot project and why I embarked on this wild journey. Well cover: - The origins of the Jugglebot idea and what sparked my curiosity. - A few big goals of the project. - A brief overview of the progress Ive made so far and what you can expect to see in my videos. If youre intrigued by the concept of a juggling robot and want to join me on this adventure, make sure to subscribe and follow my progress! Ill be sharing my successes, failures, and everything in between. *** Juggling Lab *** https://jugglinglab.org/ *** Deep Blue Reference *** Deep Blue is referring to the eponymous chess-playing algorithm that beat Garry Kasparov in 1997, forever changing the dynamics between humans and computers in the domain of chess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Blue_(chess_computer) Also if youre curious, this is the siteswap used in the Jugglebot swarm scene: *Angled Bracket* 3p2 3 3p3 3p4 3p5 3 3p3 3p3 3p1 3p4 3p3 3p3 3p2 3 3p3 3p4 3p5 3 3p3 3p3 3p1 3p4 3p3 3p3 3p2 3 3p3 3p4 3p5 3 3p3 3p3 3p1 3p4 3p3 3p3 5p2 5p2 5p2 0 0 | 3p3 3 3p4 3p5 3p1 3 3p4 3p1 3p3 3p2 3p4 3p1 3p3 3 3p4 3p5 3p1 3 3p4 3p1 3p3 3p2 3p4 3p1 3p3 3 3p4 3p5 3p1 3 3p4 3p1 3p3 3p2 3p4 3p1 5p3 5p3 5p3 0 0 | 3p4 3 3p5 3p1 3p2 3 3p1 3p4 3p4 3p1 3p1 3p4 3p4 3 3p5 3p1 3p2 3 3p1 3p4 3p4 3p1 3p1 3p4 3p4 3 3p5 3p1 3p2 3 3p1 3p4 3p4 3p1 3p1 3p4 5p4 5p4 5p4 0 0 | 3p5 3 3p1 3p2 3p3 3 3p2 3p5 3p2 3p5 3p2 3p5 3p5 3 3p1 3p2 3p3 3 3p2 3p5 3p2 3p5 3p2 3p5 3p5 3 3p1 3p2 3p3 3 3p2 3p5 3p2 3p5 3p2 3p5 5p5 5p5 5p5 0 0 | 3p1 3 3p2 3p3 3p4 3 3 3p2 3 3p3 3 3p2 3p1 3 3p2 3p3 3p4 3 3 3p2 3 3p3 3 3p2 3p1 3 3p2 3p3 3p4 3 3 3p2 3 3p3 3 3p2 5p1 5p1 5p1 0 0 * Angled bracket * (Angled brackets arent allowed in YouTube descriptions for some reason 🤷‍♂️. You only need an opening one at the start, and a closing one at the end) And if you want the colours to be matched up, add the following to the Manual settings box on Juggling Lab: colors = {blue} {blue} {blue} {blue} {blue} {green} {green} {green} {green} {green} {red} {red} {red} {red} {red} {red}$
