The associated lecture videos have been a great source of information for me. The associated class has assignments that include programming and dockers for using the Drake environment. Plus, Russ Tedrake is a smart guy who asks great questions and he's always been willing to answer my questions and emails.

I'm not sure I've seen this one before. Are you thinking of Tedrake's other course and textbook on underactuated robotics here http://underactuated.csail.mit.edu/ ? I loved that one. Taught me a ton.

woah, you're totally right. My bad. I just remembered him talking about manipulation as under-actuated problem. thanks for the catch.
