Big shout out to @lmjt.bsky.social
At Proactive Rehab - our robotics team was able to upgrade our vision system. Over the years TLDSB, Cavalcade and Seal For Life have all helped us integrate vision and AI into our robot programming!

This photo helps me see what you have done. Interesting approach!

We use canoe straps (lots of lakes in our town!) make for a very fast swap. Not everything is in place in this photo but it shows how it works.

Our robot is coming along. We used a thermal imaging camera today to check for bad wiring connections. One wire swapped out, testing was good!

The #firstrobotics competition is well underway. Hoya Robotics is working hard. Looking forward to trying to have our robot climb the cage!

So cool watching students take on a challenge. We want to ensure our new metal tubing will hold up. From discussion this morning, to calculations to destructive testing. Thanks James for helping them develop a methodical approach.

Our shooting wheel from last year's robot. Friction did a number on it!

Merry Christmas everyone. Finally making the move off of twitter. Let's see if Bluesky can be a source of thoughtful dialogue.
