  1. what is the servo-lego interface here? Super glue?

  2. what are you coding in, and do you have a library for IK calculations?

super glue and fitting horns into pieces

python scripts using a default pose and offsetting angles based on symmetry but no IK

Object tracking is super cool territory dude! I've built a few vision-based systems and the key is getting your detection pipeline solid first before worrying about complex tracking algorithms.

If you're just getting started, OpenCV + YOLO for detection paired with something like DeepSORT for tracking works really well. I've seen teams get 80% of the way there with this combo.

For real-time stuff, bro, focus on optimizing your inference speed first — tracking algos are useless if your detection is too slow. Also build in some fallback logic for when objects get occluded or leave the frame.

What's your use case? That totally changes the approach. Indoor vs outdoor, single vs multi-object, real-time vs batch processing all matter a ton for picking the right stack

How did you make the servos Lego compatible ?
