This week had its fair share of boring tasks (like waiting for 2+ hours for the calibration poses to run...) but has absolutely been for the better! We can now (fairly) precisely command Jugglebot to a desired pose and it will be extremely close to that pose when it arrives!

The next step is to get Jugglebot shooting hoops... We're very close!
