I dont like spamming the video section with my stuff that is just barely related to samp, so this one goes into the offtopic section, I think it fits here best.
So as I said, I got one more thing to show from my current software-hardware hybrid projects (thats a neat name).
Before describing it, Ill just post the video

This is just what it looks like, the robotic arm uses the numpad on my keyboard to move to a selected position in SA (grove street to some tattoo store in LS in that video), acting as some kind of "hardware NPC". It can navigate to any position, starting from anywhere. Thats because it actually uses data from Gamer_Z's GPS plugin to calculate the route. Apart from that, the arm just needs to know the current position of the player, the server sends it to the arm controller via the socket plugin. It then tries to reach the single nodes by navigating vertical and horizontal only. Unfortunately it cant use the mouse, too, so movements might look a bit weird sometimes, but it works surprisingly well.
I could write pages about all the technical details, but I dont think that would be very interesting
To prove that, heres another video. I wanted to test a long route, so it turned out grove street to four dragons in LV would do it (more than 4000m and 266 nodes). The arm missed the right key 3 times during that time, and so got stuck, but I corrected that during recording, so I didnt have to readjust the arm and start the whole journey again
It is timelapsed from ~19 to 3 minutes, and I added some random youtube-music, else it would be boring as hell to watch it. The first video at least had those keyboard clicks and servo hums.

Working time including video recording was about 5 hours. The arm already existed and was fully functional, but "teaching" it how to hit the right keys took a while
Your bet was pretty good
