shaky camera and shaky concepts of grids. didn’t want to miss #AdventOfCode but i wish i did because almost reached the breaking point today

i have a sneaking suspicion i might be a noob :(

Screenshot of a comment block in a file that reads the following: “Hello, before you use this program for your inputs, I want you to read this disclaimer because this solution may not work for your input or may provide multiple possible answers. Why does this happen? The ask for P2 is really vague, and there are several ways in which the answer can be determined. Here, we generate the grid after every second, mark the robots, and count the connected components. The logic behind this heuristic is that when a shape is formed (e.g., a Christmas tree), the number of connected components sees a significant drop. This is because, in other cases, the robots are spread fairly evenly, thus increasing the number of connected components. However, the answer here completely depends on the values you choose for various thresholds. CHECK_THRESHOLD: The number of frames to check before stopping the search. The check threshold is a random number I chose that felt big enough to contain my answer. It is possible that for you, the answer might be larger than this limit, in which case you will not get any frame number. CONNECTED_COMPONENT_LIMIT: The limit below which you might get a xmas tree. This, again, is a value I came up with using trial and error with my input If this value is too high, you'll get multiple frame numbers, any of which can be the answer. Set it too low, and you won't get any frame number. Choose this according to your input. I feel this is the best solution to this puzzle. I have seen some people go through thousands of frames and get the answer when they see a Christmas tree. Unfortunately, I don't have that level of patience.”
