Status and Progress

Yesterday:

For the three hours themselves we worked on the arm for the monster and some programming. Quite a bit of machining was accomplished, and we began programming with the encoders!

Apparently Dr. Newman is using the monster for his class, so he needs certain things working by Monday. A few of us stayed behind to finish mounting the arm and the gun. We left some incomplete wiring; specifically we need to mount a new motor controller because we originally mounted a bad jaguar, and the gun needs to be wired up. I think James may have dropped in today to work on the electrical?

What still needs to be done on the monster:

The aforementioned wiring issues need to be fixed
The camera needs to be mounted somewhere and wired up
Everything needs to work

As of now we are not meeting next Saturday. I hope everyone eats more than they should on Thanksgiving!
