Hah, the video is more exciting than the readme, IMO an image of the robot in the readme would be attention-getting.
replyWould "rear view mirrors" help navigation in the suit? So 2 extra displays that would give you a view of what's over your shoulder, like on some cars nowadays (for example): https://www.carscoops.com/2022/02/heres-what-you-wanted-to-k...
The setup I bought only has one camera but the AMT supports up to 3 separate composite sources (I did not add switching to the library yet b/c I couldn’t test this). It looks like split-screen is supported also. For now, I am adding some simple sensors to the back of the suit and triggering an on-screen pop-up when something is behind me
replyHm. Have you thought about using a backup camera? =)
replyHoly smokes I like that. Maybe it will catch on, I dunno.
replyCameras are rear view mirrors? Audi e-trons have them, they're also available as option on Hyundai Ioniqs. But apparently it's unlawful to not have physical side mirrors in North America...
replyNeat!
Can you add the pictures of your setup? Display, soldered wires, some overlays?
reply(sorry if they in the video - I generally don't watch the videos before reading the text first)
the video goes into a lot of this. it is far above average YouTube quality.
replyAbout 12 minutes into the first vid, the thought struck me: How will the EMT's react to a guy stuck halfway inside a Robby the Robot suit?
reply"can we legally post the teardown video of this to hacker news?"

replyHeads up, your youtube link has a tracking ID in it that is bound to the account/device you shared the link from.
replyThis video on the device itself (from the readme), not about the robot suit itself.
