[sudo-discuss] robot programming manual has been converted to searchable with OCR

[Jake]

Hooray for closed-source payware!  the most important manual, the 
Programming manual, has been converted to OCR compatible!

http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/479950-3-Programming_manual_v4-ocr.pdf

so now you can download this manual and search in it for whatever you 
want!

the first person to master user coordinates gets to use the robot to write 
their name on several pieces of paper!  or draw a picture!  because in 
user coordinates, you can tell the robot where you want its hand to go 
(and it will figure out how to move its many joints)

if you also master tool coordinates, you will be able to do fucking 
calligraphy because you will be able to give the robot a chisel-tip marker 
and tell it what angle to hold the marker while it draws shit.  seriously.
