10:12 AM aandrew: rue_mohr: it doesn't seem like that sweeper/pusher bot would have much force
10:13 AM aandrew: rue_mohr> I hope the cat doesn't come home with another mouse...
10:13 AM aandrew: rue_mohr> I'm trying to work out how to do wiskers for the new bot
10:13 AM aandrew: it sounds like the solution is staring you in the face...
04:30 PM polprog: the way ive seen whiskers done was a straight wire inside a springy wire
04:31 PM polprog: and touching the straight, long wire would make it touch the springy wire and make contact
