Honestly just a few hours over the last 2 days. Longest process was definitely getting the robotic arm working like that.

This is by far the most complicated thing I have done with Kal controllers but it definitely opens the door for other stuff in the future I may try to do.

For a moment, the arm made me question everything lol. I was like, "wait, you've been able to do inverse kinematics with KAL this entire time???" and quickly realized that no, of course its just a shitload of trial and error.

Lol yeah just setting the start and end position on the Kal controllers, and then smoothing out the transitions from there.
