Thanks to @shifttymike my flipper can now open “no touch” sensors at tens of meters distance. It’s not the 100m of his high powered custom built torch but given it works on the base flipper it’s pretty cool.

cc @deviantollam who would be interested in opening doors at a distance maybe.

Here’s a link to his research https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g8V6AG4Bsew

@deviantollam @shifttymike's work is just plain cool to watch, but his story in the video is also a lesson in dealing with slow, jerky, unpredictable progress and the internal brain hurdles we set up for ourselves, and it is exactly what I needed today. Thank you
