And the picture:
As always, the deadline is sorta kinda halfway Saturday at midnight Eastern. (And with no competition to wear me out this weekend, I might even judge it Sunday!)
Jaguars always get the dirty jobs - driving motors either forwards or backwards endlessly around a small playing field. It’s a hot and thankless task. Ultimately someone always rains down metal filings and then the Jaguar dies in a flurry of sparks. This little Jaguar managed to escape the electrical board and was caught here in the act of scaling the wall on the way to total freedom.
The stealthy and speedy Jaguar is among the more dangerous control system components in the Serengeti. It lies in wait for unsuspecting robotics teams to pounce upon and then blows up in their faces.
rawr!
NPOE: I would have reposted this, but too many people already put up the same idea:
So, it’s not just our robot that throws out all the Jags that we put on it…
The trick to capturing wild Jaguars is the adhesive on the paper: It needs to have just the right stickiness, and a mild version of the mating scent (essence of electrical smoke) to attract them. (Small bits of aluminum chaff helps, too).
