(...) ...and I fail. It doesn't work in bright light. I programmed it late at night and it works great. The differential between the light source at night is good (about 10 counts).

I have a short-pile carpet rug from IKEA in my "living room" - tried it out on that - epic fail! Just a heads-up from people (...) (16 years ago, 17-Jan-09, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Here is a question for the lot of you, what is the best way to lift a heavy object (I already have a gripper and I was thinking of lifting my can straight up. My gripper (...)

(...) Agreed; but admitedly you don't know what my strategy was... I visited the library today to check out the floor surface. Are you guys really doing the black-tape for the "walls"?
