Latest on Chess Player Project.

This week I followed Andy's tutorial for picking things up with our rigged test robot arm. It took quite a long time to follow and to get to work but I seem to have it worked quite well.. for now :) The tutorial featured a ball appearing, a hand reacting, picking it up, throwing it, catching it, then "shaking its head" (rotating the palm).

Here is the original video I made from following the tutorial:




I have also done a quick experiment (well it took a couple of hours and then rendering, but.. you know..) of using my chess props with the same type of animation. This video includes a jumping arm, picking up a pawn and moving it on the board, and another "shake of the head" motion.
