Back to the grindstone
Jack blogging at the moment,
Got back from two full weeks of camping, and I’m all refreshed and ready to go. It was nice to be out in the non-technological world for a while. Well, time to get back to work!
P.S. I think my dog thinks that my mind was taken over by MoonBots.
big difference
Andrew here,
I’ve noticed something. For each problem we need to decide between using a mechanical solution or a programming solution. It’s a big difference.
Originally I thought that the He3 pickup would need a programming solution but after some experimenting, I found that it actually needed a mechanical one. On the other hand, I thought that going over the bump would need a mechanical solution, but I found that it really takes a programming one. Making the right choice makes a big difference.
