January, the "Roller Coaster of Emotions" month

Buckle up and get ready to read, because this has been the longest month of the year...

The robot drives!!!!
The robot no longer drives...
Why is it not driving??? 
*cut to 3 hours later
Bethany: “Wait it has a reset button, lets reset it.”
Everyone Else: “Well it can’t Hurt”
*A Few Minutes Later
​It’s Alive!!!

*Proof that it can drive

Narrator: “Joy fills the air at CNM Hackerspace that night as the team passes the controller around, sharing the joy of their working Robot... but they would soon realize it would not last.”

**Crash!!

1. Who was Driving? Asia.. of course.
2. What did she do? Asia: “The controller died, not my fault. Quinn didn’t charge the battery” (Which Asia still argues is TRUE)

(Quinn just catching strays for no reason.)

But let's move on, once we charge the controller, we can start testing challenges. Surely nothing could go wrong!
The controller is charged and paired, but wait there is an update for our OS. "It’s always good to stay updated... ...aaaand the controller no longer pairs."

What the 01101000 01100101 01101100 l is 'hci0' and why is Bluetooth now down, but the command line says it is not down?
Alright whatever, let's try a new OS.
(Fun fact CNM Hackerspace now despises Bookworm.)
Anyways Bullseye’s is the key and might make The Zombie Apocalypse possible. (In PiWars not real-life)

Us: "Let's run our code and get driving."
Motors: “No thank you.”
WHAT NOW??
I2C is enabled, Redboard packages are present, and Daemons are good to go (or so we think). After much fidgeting the motors to move, but they are sputtering, with no communication is happening. (Like a relationship)
Just a jerky robot unsure of its purpose in life. (He may be a teenager)

A Pi4 and a Redboard, connected by fate but unwilling to cooperate with one another despite the fate of the world, our world, that lies upon their shoulders. (A true "Romeo and Juliet")
​After much effort, the robot drives on a Bullseye OS without a GUI, but also without a wireless access point. Back to our Bullseyes with a GUI and this line: sudo apt install libtiff5 libopenjp2-7-dev fonts-dejavu libpython3-dev libjpeg-dev pigpiod . 

Let's not question why or how it works.
