    • Go to sleep
    • Wake up
    • Weather
    • Forecast
    • Turn Around
    • Go Forward 12 inches
    • Nod Yes
    • Look Up “Gridlock” (Carl responds “… United States”)
       
  • Health Check watches/alerts on WiFi connectivity, I2C bus, free memory
  • Changed to a better NiMH charger allowed more stable trickle charging detection
  • Welcomed new brother Dave (ROSbot Dave stole copies of Carl’s best utilities)

Absolutely fantastic!
:+1: :+1: :+1:

Unfortunately, Charlie seems to have spent more time unplugged this year than running. :sleepy:

Siblings argue and that’s a given.

Total props to you and your 'bots for your accomplishments this year!

The auto-correct on my phone originally rendered this as “you and your boys” before I corrected it.

Hmm. . . .

Maybe I should have left it alone?

Happy Birthday to Carl. :tada: :birthday:
Wow - they grow up and develop new skills so fast :robot:

Carl has remarkable capabilities. Good to see they’re being copied forward to Dave. A robot version of Newton’s quote about standing on the shoulders of giants.
