I also finished installing the motors and wheels. (Note: Raymond is working with one of the motors, so our bot is a tripod.) Additionally, I drilled into the body and attached the mounts for the linear actuators.<\/p>\n

Also, I made the wires for the motors to the Motor Drivers and the battery to the breadboard. The Arduino, which I got for free from Techspark, is for me to test the linear actuators using the motor controllers. I made them based on a drawing to keep them organized.<\/p>\n

This week, I think I got what I wanted done for the body. I am behind on electronics since I decided to use double-sided tape to attach it. To catch up, I plan to prioritize securing the electronics first thing on Monday.<\/p>\n

Next week, we need to get the robot moving and the platform tilting. So I plan on getting the electronics on the board and finish attaching the linear actuator, which takes two people. As a temporary solution, we\u2019ll hold it in place with yarn. I also plan to assist Raymond with anything he needs.<\/p>\n
