I was so disappointed when that project ceased! It was the first and frankly coolest of the teaching robots. The way they're waving the ball in front of this one looks exactly like how they taught motor skills to Cog, I wonder, do any of the same people work on this project? Glad to see it's open source, and thanks for the posting. This is just like that MIT project in the 90s “Cog”. I was so disappointed when that project ceased!
