Building a Pons bundler on Robinhood Chain is less about sending multiple transactions and more about coordinating an entire launch workflow reliably. A useful open-source implementation is wooyang/pons-bundler , a TypeScript CLI for Pons v2 on Robinhood Chain. The project calls launchAndBuy , registers buyer wallets for the launch flow, and submits additional curve buys in parallel. It also includes wallet generation, funding, dry-run execution, buying, selling, and sweeping. This article walks through the architecture and the engineering decisions behind a production-oriented Pons launch-automation system. What Is a Pons Bundler? First, an important distinction. A Pons bundler is not an ERC-4337 bundler . The referenced implementation describes Robinhood Chain as FCFS and notes that there is no atomic multi-signer transaction. The launch and initial buy happen in one transaction, while additional buyer wallets submit separate transactions targeting the same launch window. The execution model is therefore closer to: Pons Launch │ ▼ launchAndBuy() │ ┌─────────┴─────────┐ │ │ Master Wallet Token + Curve │ ┌─────────────┼─────────────┐ ▼ ▼ ▼ Wallet A Wallet B Wallet C │ │ │ └─────────────┼─────────────┘ ▼ Parallel Buy Txs The goal is to coordinate execution, not to create a fake notion of atomicity. Project Structure A clean Pons bundler can separate the application into several layers: CLI │ ├── status ├── wallets ├── launch ├── buy ├── sell └── sweep │ ▼ Execution Layer │ ├── launch orchestration ├── wallet coordination ├── quote calculation └── transaction handling │ ▼ Pons Protocol Layer │ ├── Factory ├── LaunchAndBuy ├── Curve └── Token │ ▼ Robinhood Chain The repository is organized as a TypeScript CLI with its main library entry point under src/index.ts . The separation matters because CLI code should not contain all of your blockchain logic. Connecting to Robinhood Chain The first requirement is an RPC connection. A basic configuration can look like: import {

Your robots.txt may express an AI policy you did not write. We checked the homepage and robots.txt of 9,037 live AI tools listed on directree on 6 and 7 September 2026. Of those, 945 explicitly disallow OpenAI’s GPTBot in its own user-agent group: 10.5% of the sample. Treat AI crawler rules as deployment configuration. Review them when you change hosting, enable a CDN feature, adopt a starter template, or hand site operations to someone else. Read the full research and methodology . GPTBot, search, and user browsing are separate A common configuration blocks model training while keeping a site available in AI-assisted search and browsing: User-agent: GPTBot Disallow: / User-agent: OAI-SearchBot Allow: / These are separate crawlers with separate purposes. In our sample, 839 of the 945 sites that block GPTBot, or 88.8%, still allow OAI-SearchBot. That is a deliberate and useful distinction if your goal is to opt out of training while remaining eligible to be cited in ChatGPT search. The same pattern appears across AI labs. ClaudeBot is explicitly blocked by 10.1% of the 9,037 tools, while Claude-SearchBot is blocked by just 0.1%. Google-Extended is blocked by 9.9%, but its purpose is also distinct from ordinary Google Search crawling. Do not assume a broad-looking rule has the result you want. Check the actual crawler names and decide which capabilities you want to permit. A safe way to review your file Start by opening the public URL: https://your-domain.example/robots.txt Then look for three things: A named crawler group, such as User-agent: GPTBot . A Disallow: / directly inside that group. A wildcard group, User-agent: * , that could affect all crawlers. Our measurement only counts a site as blocking GPTBot when the named GPTBot group itself contains Disallow: / . This matters because ordinary technical exclusions are widespread. Only 31 sites in the 9,037-site sample, or 0.3%, block every crawler outright. Meanwhile, 44% have a path-level Disallow rule in a wildc

Every small business has one person who is the office search engine. Where is the refund form. What goes in the Friday report. Which supplier do we use for rush jobs. The answers are written down somewhere, but asking that person is faster than finding them, so the questions keep coming and that person never gets a full hour of their own work. An SOP chatbot fixes exactly that. Staff type the question, and the bot answers with the steps from the procedures you already wrote, and shows which document it took them from. Nothing else. This article explains how that works using one picture, shows two bots we actually run, and is honest about what the bot will never do. The box Picture the AI as a very capable temp worker who shows up every morning with no memory of your business at all. Not the address, not the prices, not how you handle a late delivery. Smart, fast, and completely blank. Before you ask them anything, you hand them a box. In the box are your documents. The rule, taped to the lid, says: answer only from what is in the box, and if the answer is not in the box, say so. That box is what people in the AI world call the context. Everything the bot knows about you at the moment it answers is what you put in the box for that one question. It does not learn your business over time. It reads the box, answers, and forgets. Next question, new box. Two things follow from this picture, and they explain almost everything about SOP chatbots. The box has a size. Anthropic, the company behind the Claude models, says in its engineering write-up on contextual retrieval that a knowledge base under about 200,000 tokens, roughly 500 pages, can simply be included with every question, with no extra machinery. Most small businesses have far less than 500 pages of procedures. So for most of you, the whole manual fits in the box every time. If the manual is bigger than the box, someone has to pick. Then a librarian step runs first: it reads the question, pulls the few pages that m

Mapping SpaceMouse Controls to SO-101 Movements In the previous article, I connected the SpaceMouse to the PC and confirmed that all six types of input could be detected correctly. https://dev.to/takeofuture/trying-vla-part-5-setting-up-and-testing-a-spacemouse-eio Forward / Backward Left / Right Up / Down Pitch Roll Yaw During the SpaceMouse test, I confirmed the following input values. Forward horizontal = +Y Backward horizontal = -Y Left horizontal = -X Right horizontal = +X Up = +Z Down = -Z Forward tilt = +Pitch Backward tilt = -Pitch Left tilt = -Roll Right tilt = +Roll Left twist = -Yaw Right twist = +Yaw An important point here is that these values from the SpaceMouse are not sent directly to individual SO-101 motors . Conceptually, the flow from the SpaceMouse to the SO-101 looks like this: SpaceMouse ↓ x / y / z / roll / pitch / yaw ↓ SpaceMouse Teleoperator ↓ target_x / target_y / target_z target_wx / target_wy / target_wz ↓ Inverse Kinematics (IK) ↓ SO-101 Joint Positions ↓ SO-101 The SpaceMouse plugin treats the 6DoF input from the SpaceMouse as movement of the End Effector in Cartesian coordinates. The target movement is then converted into the required SO-101 joint angles using IK, or Inverse Kinematics . In other words, instead of directly specifying something like: "Move this motor by 5 degrees" we provide commands such as: "Move the End Effector slightly forward" "Move the End Effector slightly upward" "Rotate the End Effector slightly" The SpaceMouse provides these commands, and IK calculates how the individual joints need to move. Mapping Between SpaceMouse and LeRobot Coordinates There is one thing we need to be careful about here. The x and y values displayed by the SpaceMouse test do not directly become LeRobot's target_x and target_y . With the default SpaceMouse plugin configuration, the axes are mapped as follows: SpaceMouse y -> target_x SpaceMouse x -> target_y SpaceMouse z -> target_z SpaceMouse roll -> target_wx SpaceMouse pitch -> targ
