This is a great expansion on the previous hackathon! Thanks, Matt. Jeff, any chance you'd have some articles or papers you'd recommend to get started on the sensor-motor integration piece? This is the area I'm most most focusing on with my experimenting, and would appreciate any help in narrowing the research.
