Setup on the picture below:
- 60 robots at once
- Location update rate per robot - 9Hz
- Scale: 5cm between the grey dots

- 2 x stationary Super-Beacons: https://marvelmind.com/product/super-beacon/
- 60 x mobile Mini-RX beacons (https://marvelmind.com/product/mini-rx/) streaming out their location with ~9Hz update rate via UART to the mobile robots from a swarm
- 1 x Modem HW v4.9: https://marvelmind.com/product/modem-hw-v4-9/

Since there's been a quite a few threads over the past few days on buffing genji, I thought I'd share some random thoughts I had on how I think it could be done.
I think what would be nice would be:
- Give him back his auto attack range (either to 5 or 5.5) OR increase his auto attack damage
- Allow swift strike to travel less than its maximum distance
The second buff is the kind of subtle buff that I think would be very nice because it's not a change that would be noticeable or appreciated by the average genji player, but for experienced genji players who want more precise positioning, they can opt to swift strike short distances if they feel like it would be better than dashing the full range.
Such a change increases genji's skillcap for good genjis but it will not make genji feel oppressive to play against (after all, it is basically giving genji the option to "reduce" his mobility by decreasing his dash distance, rewarding players who can position more precisely but giving little value to players who play without using their brains).
By the way, for short distance mobility spells like ETC's power slide or tychus' dash etc, I can understand why blizzard would design it so that the hero always travels that same maximum distance. But for a spell with a range as long as swift strike (12 range), it actually does kinda baffle me, from a design perspective, why the blizzard team thought it would be a good idea to force genji to always fly the maximum distance.
So I feel like the second buff could also be a very good design change for genji, in a way that doesn't make him any more hypermobile than before, raises his skillcap and rewards good players significantly more than average players.
A Princess targeting a Minion Horde head-on will be able to target all 6. A Princess targeting a Minion Horde from the other lane can potentially miss 2 Minions.
Additional:
I have have wanted to create a semi-autonomous rover for some time now. I believe a good goal to work towards would be a robotic lawnmower. So one fairly important component of that would be knowing where it is in the real world.
Enter precise outdoor positioning. Here are some of my guidelines:
- Needs to be more accurate than standalone GPS. Centimeter level precision is preferred.
- I don't want to use a buried ground loop as many robotic lawnmowers do.
- I would prefer it to be under $1,000.
- The more documentation and the larger community around it the better.
- It is acceptable for the solution to require a basestation or control points.
Two of my top contenders so far are:
So far I am leaning towards the u-blox C94-M8P since there is more detailed information about it and I have had good experiences with u-blox products in the past. I know it isn't L2 capable, nor is the Reach, but I also haven't found one that is easy to purchase, well documented, and a reasonable price.
I would love to hear any commentary you have for me on the subject. I am open to alternative solutions to my problem.
I have a motherboard that has 3 separate connectors that need precise allignment to allow a daughterboard to mate. All 3 connectors are through-cole components. The 3 components: an RF SMA through hole, and 2 inline connectors (an 8 pin, and a 5 pin).
The 5 pin connector and the RF connector line up on one side, and the 8 pin on the other side. So basically, the daughterboard is a square with connectors on 2 parallel edges.
What is the best way to get precise positioning of the mating connectors on both the motherboard and the daughterboard?
I just figured this out by accident and I figured a lot of you guys probably don't know either. I've always had extreme difficulty positioning tiny objects. Using the arrow keys really makes this a breeze.
