It looks like I will be retiring Feynman-Jr, it turns out that having two robots that do the same thing are not that good. Also there are a few design flaws in Feynman Jr. First, the motors are too fast, this will have to go on another outdoor robot (name t.b.d). Second, there is no good place to put an arm.
I am going to be moving parts to Feynman6 and then mounting an arm on it and will add a computer power supply so I can leave the robot plugged in 24/7.
The software of course will take a hit pending work on the new robot, the main driver for the software is "What will it do?" and I my goal, to get a beer, is completely dependent on on the arm and having the robot powered on most of the time, without having to worry about recharging the battery.
