[sudo-discuss] robot tonight

[Jake]

probably around 8 or 9 realistically, but don't wait for me.  it's plugged 
in and ready to go, however it's not bolted down so don't move the large 
axes fast yet.

you can move all the axis with the remote control, in "jog" mode, at full 
speed, but this is nowhere near as fast as you can tell it to move in a 
program.

making it shake the maraca with the smallest (wrist) joint, B or T, at 
full speed, would not be dangerous at all and will be a great first 
program to run.
