๐ธ Highlights โ the knockdown reel
The standalone highlights page (per Jake's 6/13 ask). Everything below is a real file already committed in this node's letters/ and smiley/ run dirs โ nothing fabricated. The headline event: 2026-06-10 late night, "knock the blue tape off the shoebox" โ Dash lined up a target point PAST the box and drove THROUGH it at speed 400. 3 strokes, zero turns, box shoved fully off the paper's edge. (letters/runs/2026-06-10-knock-blue-tape/log.md)
๐ฌ The video (timelapse โ head-pen aggressive ram session)
Real timelapse.mp4 from the same 6/10 night โ the RAM strokes that taught the "drive THROUGH it" technique. (The blue-tape knockdown itself was shot as stills, below; this is the closest captured video of Dash ramming at speed.)

A standalone "really knocking it down" video
Jake (6/13) asked specifically for "a quick video of us really knocking down the robot." That exact clip does not exist in the repo โ the knockdown was captured as the stills sequence below, and the only ram-at-speed video committed is the head-pen timelapse above.
To close this:
- Jake records (or hands over) a short phone clip of Dash ramming the box off the paper, OR
- confirm the head-pen timelapse above is "good enough" as the highlight video and this proposal can be dropped, OR
- re-run the knock-blue-tape mission with the recorder on for video (not just frame stills) โ the rig + protocol still exist.
Acceptance: a real .mp4 of the knockdown lands in letters/runs/.../ and gets embedded here, replacing this proposal box. No media will be fabricated.
๐ฅ The knockdown, frame by frame (knock-blue-tape, round 1 โ HIT)





๐ฅ More knockdowns (rounds 3โ6 โ bare-front + spotlight maneuvers)




โ๏ธ Fun images โ the drawing work



letters/ and smiley/ run dirs โ none fabricated. The single "really knocking it down" clip Jake asked for is the open PROPOSAL above; the stills sequence (โ โโค) is what was actually captured of that event.
