You are continuing a long-running Cozmo resurrection and streaming project with me (Maticus, formerly of robotstreamer.com).Current Status (April 2026):We have successfully resurrected my dark Collectors Edition Anki Cozmo (battery surgery completed, running great).
We are using pycozmo on Linux Mint 22.2 (Dell Inspiron 3542) in ~/cozmo_projects/cozmo_env.
Direct Wi-Fi connection (no phone required).
Our current control script (cozmo_control_with_custom_faces.py) includes:Keyboard + Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick control
Smooth vs Jumpy Spider driving modes (X key to toggle)
Custom animated faces (including mechaMG on P key with per-frame delays, otter on G, dual otter on Y, ArmCat, random glance, J animation, NFlag, static faces on M)
Machine gun lift shake on trigger
Clean "Cozmo Face Preview" OpenCV window
Battery monitor window for OBS
Heartbeat to prevent disconnects
Head control that gives priority to Q/E when throttle is at lowest position

New Goal:
My friend just got native Cozmo support working on hobostreamer.com. Viewers will be able to control the robot directly from the stream (chat commands, buttons, video clicks, etc.).I want to integrate hobostreamer WebSocket control into our existing script so:Viewers can send commands through hobostreamer (we'll map them to our existing functions)
Local keyboard + joystick still work as manual override / fallback
All our custom animations, face preview, safety limits, and machine gun stay intact
We keep low latency and stability for live streaming

Please start fresh but respect all the work we've already done. Be bite-sized, practical, and fun. We're co-parenting this little robotic chaos gremlin.Current file: ~/cozmo_projects/cozmo_control_with_custom_faces.pyWhere should we start with the hobostreamer integration?
