I got to play around with a UR5 robot arm today!
It was actually pretty tedious, getting some smaller things to run and integrating three separate components with different drivers and some ifconfig shenanigans. In the end, we got it to grab a banana.

The teach panel (control thingie) was fun though. I even pressed the big red stop button when something went wrong.
I might also have tried to poke people with it :3

Soon i can't see ROS code anymore. Because of the suddenly ROS end of life i had migrated ~30 ROS packages to ROS2 and that's only the neccessary packages. I never liked ROS at any time. There are so many bad design decisions and some are even worse now in ROS2.
