As it turns out the little motor is way more capable than I thought, doubled the thrust with a 2 blade 10 inch propeller instead of a 3 blade 6 inch propeller.
Some cool drone shots coming soon!
@Deeplearner2@7Xrobotics Very cool! Quick question: does it need new demonstrations after installing in a new environment? Does the robot arm need calibration?
On a hike in San Francisco several years ago, Matt Mullenweg (@photomatt) recommended I read “The Tail End” by Tim Urban (@waitbutwhy) on the Wait But Why blog—if you only read one article this month, make it that one. It uses diagrams to underscore how short life really is.
Here’s just one gem: “It turns out that when I graduated from high school, I had already used up 93% of my in-person parent time. I’m now enjoying the last 5% of that time. We’re in the tail end.”
Might be time for you (and me) to rethink our personal priorities.

Our team of @trunc8s , @cyansding and @brucekimrok deployed a RL policy on a lerobot at the Physical AI Hack and also did some Sim to Real, Sim pre-training and RL post training experiments.
Thank you @DhruvDiddi and @GZinMetaverse for organizing! https://t.co/XUWqwwUBx9
What an incredible journey at the 2025 #EmbodiedAIHackathon! 🤖📷Full recap blog: https://t.co/loijzOZSh6
Hosted by @seeedstudio, @NVIDIARobotics, and @huggingface, we ran two hackathons this October — one in Shenzhen and one in Mountain View.
Over 700 developers joined, and 30+ teams built, experimented, and pushed the limits of open-source #robotics together in the home & cooking scene.
In the recap, you’ll find the tech stacks teams used, the tools that powered their #PhysicalAI builds, and the impressive results from their final demos.
Thanks to everyone who joined this amazing adventure — see you at the next one! 📷🚀
One of the most valuable life lessons I learnt from improv is the “YES, AND” attitude.
During improv, scenes are built incrementally (since there is no script) in which you always build on top of the idea your scene partners gift you. Negation of an idea isn’t allowed.
Applying this technique to any team I am a part of irrespective of whether we are building a robot or deciding what to do on a weekend has made me a far more effective team player than I ever was!
