Tricked by Trigonometry

HYPOCRITE ALERT: I just wasted half a day of my life trying to code basic kinematics without making a single sketch, note-to-self or pseudocode. Bad idea!!!

Yet I blather on about planning and thinking ahead on this blog all the time. In my defense, I was figuring it out as I went along, watching YouTube and reviewing basic trig functions. I was doing okay until I hit a wall at the third joint and realized that I was still trying to base my calculations on the first joint because my brain was so muddy I was just blindly copying code instead of thinking about it.





I took a nice long break then came back and sketched it out complete with names and arrows and reminders. My brain might be mush, but paper and pencil are eternal.
