A Robot arm controllable from the website it's used from on!

The website is called http://orbduino.com/
It's basically where you can control a robotic arm from the internet while seeing it live.

Lol the robot seems to respond to my button clicks for sure, but how is that possible? the website is open to everyone and I bet there are hundreds of people clicking those buttons at the same time, how does the robot know what to do? doesn't look like it does other shit that I tell him to and it doesn't get confused...

Yep, works for me, too.
They've got only 3 arms(according to the website), so how the hell is this possible?

If you look in the bottom right hand corner of the camera you will see a timer counting down from 45 and once it hits zero others are able to use it and not just you. This happens with all three of the robotic arms.

(So watch the Orbduino output for saying a 45 second lock-in timer has started to see what i mean.)

Also the robot most likely has  PySerial coded into it for it's movements, Just like LiveBots.

Here's the link to the LiveBots website: http://livebots.azurewebsites.net/
