Cute video. I mean, it's not precision-stacking blocks, or solving Tower of Hanoi or anything, but it's cute... The smartphone interface is novel. Maybe I need more humor in my videos if I want to go viral, huh? Maybe if my servo catapult launched flaming balls at kerosene-soaked targets...?

    Personally I'm stunned the BOE bot flamethrower didn't go viral.

    The record and playback is somewhat handy but their servo control could use some ramping.

    That is the Crustcrawler Smart arm that I posted a video of me crashing one using a joystick to control it.
