Thanks Lance. The windmill was over the front of the car, close to being near it... 
Poor car positioning. Still waiting for footage.

Are you using learning concepts on this bot, like neural networks, genetic algorithms (so he'll learn on its own and mimic your brain, searching stuff: http://www.mit.edu/~deweck/PDF_archive/3%20Refereed%20Conference/3_50_AIAA-2005-1897.pdf), PAC learning http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probably_approximately_correct_learning and stuff like that. Or you just play "by the ear" and let it evolve as you learn new programming techniques?

I was and am genuinely sad because Andrew quit training. There's nothing i can do about it though, and might as well talk with him about the things he loves now, because he, as a person didn't change at all, just his short term goals did...

From what videos I've seen of you, and how you look, def powerlifting; It would seem hard/close to impossible for a guy with your body composition to look like : 
You know yourself better, but my opinion is, you can't go wrong with powerlifting.

Did you manage to watch them in more detail? I'll record again my next training session, but any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot, T0ddday, for that article, really helpful.
Tommorrow I'll do long jumps and upload them. Until then I did these:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a10bb0O62Ps" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a10bb0O62Ps</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axqyqH6ePu0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axqyqH6ePu0</a> Any input on these?
PS: Here is the long jump, it was pretty weak in terms of length, I was a bit tired, but that's not the point:

Eyes closed mean you don't see the target 
I did it four times. First time i landed almost where i jumped from. Second time a little bit in the front 2 inches or so . Third and fourth, almost in the same place i jumped from maybe 1 inch forward.

Thanks Darq. I was online on IRC, but you weren't. Maybe next time we'll sync. My dad is doing SQL Scripts right now and managing the databases of the biggest insurance company in Romania. He's the only man doing that and no one else there know how to do them ) so he rarely takes holidays. He studied cybernetics in College.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Long jump
« on: April 19, 2012, 07:20:41 pm »
Hey Lance, it's spring again, so I started for over a month now training for the long jump besides strength training and dunks/basketball , I trained as I always do with acceleration work, a few 70% runs (>100 m), bounds, pen drill, some hurdles, pogos ,broad jumps and of course long jumping itself.
After starting with some 5 step approaches, I used what you taught me (start from the take off point and sprint backwards and mark where I can jump from) and did 35 meter approaches for the first time, also doing some PR jumps (around 23 feet), and I want to get comfortable with these longer runs and go as close as I can towards 26 feet (seems very far right now). I'm using the sail technique right now, and have no landing what so ever, I land like in the broad jump.
The question I have, besides what I already do right now, what drills would you recommend me so I can transition more easily into a longer approach, and what drills do you think can help me with the take off and flight phase. After I will get all of these I'll ask about landings too, but it doesn't make any sense to think about that right now.
