Did simplifying the MicroPython program for this robot help its ability to self drive?

New test results for the autonomous robot indicating better robot localization. Getting the tiny robot to be autonomous while it moves around has been a massive challenge in this project.  Inexpensive sensors, questionable hardware, and over complication all have been contributing problems for this robot.  Even the controller, a Raspberry PI PICO programmed with MicroPython could be cause for concern.  This video highlights some advances in the performance of this robot.

DIY Awesome Workbench - What makes a workbench awesome?

Workbenches are awesome tools in that they are critical to most processes.  If you are considering purchasing a workbench, or making your own workbench this video is a good starting place.  This video explores the concept of workbenches and how they impact many types of tasks performed around the home or at work.  

A workbench isn't often thought of as a tool, however, if you look at from a different perspective, you may realize it is a foundational tool supporting all other work with tools in your shop.
