Two ROS 2 Robots Are Alive Again!
TB5-WaLI has been "alive" continuously for the last 18 months, but Dave has suffered six annual re-incarnations as new versions of ROS 2 and Ubuntu are released.
This year Dave's re-incarnation from "Kilted-Dave" was complicated by an improved #GoPiGo3 API installation into a #Python #VirtualEnvironment

Robot With Worms In Its Head
Some smarter-than-me folk created a program for the GoPiGo robot and later the #GoPiGo3 robot to simulate some of the "thinking" of a C. Elegans worm.

I figured out how make the new GoPiGo3 Raspberry PiOS Trixie install work on Ubuntu 26.04 Resolute Raccoon.
