Man, we're getting rid of everything, aren't we? We realized that we don't actually need the mini-bot to see if programs work, because we have all the things we need on a sheet of lex-an. As it turns out, we only have one motor controller on it, so we can't properly test the five motors. (Four wheel motors, one arm motor) We're just going to reconfigure it several times and test the parts of the program in batches. But anyway, the mini-bot is no more. The chassis has all four wheels motored now, though! Benedict also added on the main tower. I did some programming, but I still need to test it. It can (hopefully) move the robot forwards and backwards, strafe left and right, and raise and lower the arm. I talked to Thomas about it, and he gave me some tips to make it run smoother. I haven't figured out all of holonomic drive, so I'll dig through notebooks today to figure it out. I have to figure out how to get it to go diagonally. JD worked on the balance stone, but he didn't have the glue so there was only so far he could get.
