The End Of a Saga (Kinova Jaco Robotic Arm)


I beat the insurance level on difficulty extreme. Almost a year after demoing the piece equipment, I finally own it. And all it took was patience and mild legal threats. I felt like giving up at several points but the company advocate got me through it.
Better yet, I helped by winning. The approval decision went all the way up the ladder for Kaiser. I set a precedent. People will hopefully have an easier time because I never gave up. I am not one to brag but it feels good. The one upside to being the leading edge. Feeling like I left an impact.
I can use the robotic arm to be far more independent than I have ever been. I can open doors, grab items off shelves or the floor, even cook! Even at my strongest, I could not do any of that. My world just got a lot bigger. I am not sure what I want to do first.
Of course I will need a lot of practice. I am great at remotely controlling things but it is basically a complicated claw machine that is a little more accurate than normal. I am also just new at the system. It is the most complicated non complicated system I have ever seen. If that makes sense. But I am patient. I will get very good at it. I am sure that I will be flying through activities in no time. I have always carried a love of puzzles. Especially when a solution means a better future.
