Everybody poops, man. I didn't actually poop this time, but I do poop.00:10.21Seanyeah oh I hope so.00:13.46AndrewPoops are great.00:17.43AndrewPoops are great. Well, I that was not expecting that. Okay.00:22.77SeanSorry, sorry, how's robotics?00:26.27AndrewRobotics is great. Yeah, we're I think two weeks into the season. And this is going to mean nothing to anybody who hasn't been involved with first robotics, but we're making a big switch from tank drive to swerve drive this year and from time based to command based robot programming.00:46.76AndrewSo.00:46.34SeanWhoa.00:47.88AndrewYeah, pretty cool. Pretty cool. Tank-based is kind of what it sounds like. you know If you imagine how a tank moves, it's like two tracks moving at the same time. um And so it's simple, but it's also like not very precise. Whereas swerve drive, you have four wheels that can all move independently, and so they can and they can rotate. So you can move forward, backwards, left, right.01:14.66SeanHmm.01:15.53Andrewdiagonal you know you become a queen instead of a ah ah rook and it's uh does that metaphor make sense it's nerdy as fuck but it makes sense01:27.02SeanYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it does, it does. It was just not, it was just not the metaphor....","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/PgRb7nkVloWStxsA-Wu9jkGRJHzVzKvZN5NP2-jtBqk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzIwNTI3LzE2MjMx/ODE4NDYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
