Nothing too exciting is going on. I have started machining parts for blender mini. I screwed up on a part tonight when my drill bit decided it was not going to go straight. I’ll restart those parts on friday when I have a chance. I plan on working on the parts all weekend. I want to push through them and get this thing done so I have some time to test things out. Our McMaster-Carr order just got put it. It was a hefty one totalling around $1500. Robot parts ain’t cheep. I have a couple of my team members working on putting together the crate. Hooray for not being a one man team anymore! I have 4 girls and 2 guys joining me now. It will be interesting to see how this works out. It is hard trying to train a team and build a robot at the same time. It is kind of interesting to note that the amount of time it has taken to train them is roughly equal to the time it has saved me on the project by having them work on stuff.
On a side note for any other BotsIQ teams reading this, a contact scoped out the hotels near the event and the best western at discovery kingdom seems to be the best of the hotels near there. Us and a couple other teams are staying there.
That pretty much does it for the update so everyone enjoy.
