Eh, Powerizer? It’s a 9.6v 4200mAh battery, I get about 2 hours of runtime on it using the 60w PicoPSU.

Here is some progress on my object tracking, it’s not 100% perfect, but it’s definitely improving:

This… Means… War…
And not that silly kind of war with millions of people and big guns… No… This is a war of robotics!
LOLOL. I love the disco scene!!. LOL Reminds me of the real Johnny 5.
“Me not see that do that before”
Impressive as usual. Good job with it!
Thats exactly where it was inspired from, I remember in the first Short Circuit, hes up late watching TV and the Saturday Night Fever dance scene with Travolta comes on and he starts busting out.
And thanks Jim!

That was very entertaining! The object tracking is much better. Watching it track the ball gave it some character.
The disco video made Johnny 5 come alive!
Well done, It gave me a good laugh.

And the disco video was pretty funny
I agree! I’m in shock that anyone on this site hasn’t seen Short Circuit 1 or 2 at one point in their life

Heck, I remember watching Logan’s Run, Hogan’s Heroes, and Maxwell Smart.
I always get a kick out of “Stephanie, nice software.”

I can’t believe you guys haven’t seen Short Circuit. That where the Johnny 5 name came from. It was a life sized Johnny 5!!!
Do you remember Balky from Perfect Strangers?
Even THIS was just before my time…
