Teaser video of a closing mouse trap; the whole closing is completed in 0.01s(!).
This is an animation from Raspberry v2 camera 640x75 video captured at 1007fps(!), played at 1fps.
When the mouse trap bar touches down, it hits the black piezo igniter, showing a spark in front:

raspcatbot (Raspberry caterpillar robot) forum thread:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=267999

Slowmo of raspcatbot passing, 100× slower than real, only 1.14m/s here:

Bring your own light and monochrome global shutter camera / free running 1774rpm(!), 6.04m/s with 65mm wheel ⌀

On left 2.2" display, Raspberry Pi3A+ and L298N motor driver / with 330rpm motors steep uphill

front view video from 22.5km/h toy train …

… slightly faster than 5m/s (18km/h) raspcatbot target speed.
Just to get an idea of what autonomous line following at maximal speed will have to deal with.

1kg raspcatbot running (with steel wire rope) on 1.25m radius around screw in garage floor.
Speed 3.24m/s or 11.65km/h, kinetic energy 0.5*m*v² = 5.25 Joule, centripetal force m*v²/r = 8.4 kg*m/s²

• U-turn w/o speed (>2m/s) reduction
• just swap one motor's direction for some time
• slowed down by factor 90/25=3.6
• 90fps slowmo youtube video
• positions at start of (overshooted) U-turn, at 90°, 180° and finally before going straight again
• Arduebot can do similar U-turn

I am a member of the German Ultramarathon Association (German-language) (my statistics)


For fun I registered as participant of South-German (Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Hesse and Saxony) 100km road race championship 1998 in Leipzig. There were 59 starters, 52 finishers, and I was 50th finisher (at age of 33). There were only 6 starters in male 30-34 age group, and only 3 of them were from South-Germany. One South-German starter did not finish -- therefore I got official silver medal from German Athletics Association(!), was "2nd best South-German 100km road race runner in age group 30-34 in 1998" … ;-)
[winner finished in 7:07h, I finished in 12:26h -- better than 8km/h on average]
