Week 3 begins

Robot "brains" are wired up and ready to be tested. We are still waiting for some parts to come in before we build the frame / drive system. More prototyping is still happening as well as CAD of our ever evolving design. Programming has finally started showing promising signs of functionality.

Goals for this week: Finish CAD work, build frame, assemble drive system, build bumpers, fabricate parts. Have a driving robot by the end of the week. If we're good we'll be able to pick up balls by then as well.

Big news from last week: We were awarded the Lowe's Toolbox for education grant in the amount of $7,700! We are now up to a total of about $22,000 raised this year. Great job everyone!
