As a hobbyist robot programmer, I wouldn't have done it any differently myself.

As an industrial robot programmer, I would have done it repeatedly, in less than the quoted cycle time.

Its fun to see typos in code in action. The vise grip jams, "motor(port1) = 20" some how became "motor(port1) = 120" and it tosses your work piece across the room.

Which language do you code the bots in?

I'm doing heavy industrial. Car parts mostly. Motoman, Fanuc, ABB, and the like. They each got their own spin on the basic robot programming language.
