There's a long, convoluted explanation how this works but take heart; the video only lasts 36 seconds.

That's pretty cool.  :popcrn:

The robot that I am working on at the office managed to torch the transmission on a Polaris 800 HD last Thursday. Took just about as long and apparently all the smoke it generated was "way awesome"  :lol:  OOPS.

Robot you're working on at the office???  I picked the wrong profession...

What do you do?

Degree is in Electrical Engineering but I concentrated on Embedded systems programming. So I am basically a software monkey. We have an Autonomy kit that fits on Ranger type platforms that we are working on that is part of a tow behind sensor array (previous project) used for UXO cleanup ops. I previously worked in the factory automation biz for GE Fanuc/Allen Bradley/Rockwell Automation.  So it's always been some sort of embedded control system programming.  Every job has its days, of which I am sure you are aware.

Cool stuff!

Yeah I agree, I love my job, but right now I don't want to be here!  Better day tomorrow I'm sure.
