Interactive Desktop Robot

At last, the robot is in full swing, or rather poke. I worked on the code to slow down it’s movement, remove it’s awkward lifting-up, and allow it to search for missed keys. I documented the robot and its interaction in a video. I also considered that the part of the project most useful to future students is how to read an angle from a servo motor, so a made a special tutorial for how modify a servo for that too.
