Re: 1189 - Human-Bot Arm Control

About the sneezing... I learned to do most things lefthanded. Including eating Wheat Thins with only vertical arm movements to avoid rotating the turret - when I wasn't wearing the arm. And yes, I most often had it deactivated anyway.

After autonomous, it took me about fifteen seconds to get myself completely strapped into the hockey pads (donated by one of the team members as an attachment for the arm). I learned to do it on my own so the driver was free to move the bot for the first 10 seconds of the match - I had three or four seconds of lag time between the buzzer to end autonomous and the activation bell. Not that this came down to any sort of precise art.
