Robotic arm controls in Python

[AlexColgan]

Hey everyone,

I thought I'd share our recent blog post on LA Hacks finalists Team Armateur, who created a robotic arm control system in Python.

Working with technology that only existed in science fiction just a decade ago is pretty amazing. We had both electrical engineers and software engineers on our team so developing a hardware hack was a good way of utilizing our various skills.

We were all really excited when we heard our team name called into the finals, although we were too sleepy to celebrate at that moment. Overall, the hackathon was a great experience and I think we surprised even ourselves with what we were able to do in only 36 hours.

Great Job. I wish I had something like leap motion device when I was in school. Here is a project, that is similar to the finalists project, that I did at the beginning of the year.

And I did it since I had the leap motion and I did this project already.
