			Made prototype with real wheels, motor, and battery - works well.

			Deployer will probably use a "V" notch to hook onto the pole.  Must figure out ASAP where to put it on the robot (front, side, etc.)

			Minibot has a double gear latch to clamp to pole.  It would be good to have this device also act to turn on the minibot.

			Need the deployer design!



			'''Electrical Main'''

			Mechanical and Electrical need to meet and decide where on the robot the electrical layout goes.

			Programming and Electrical need to meet regarding sensors.

			Signal lights for the human Feeder should be visible 360 degrees around the robot.  LED lights could be a good option (bright and lightweight).

			Need to come up with various possible design concepts.



			'''Electrical Controls'''

			Most of the parts are already on order.  Could not find a suitable throttle, so had to go with four joysticks instead of three joysticks + throttle.  Might rework one of the joysticks to be more like a throttle.

			Need to know what sensors there are, and where.



			'''Programming'''

			Setting up functions.  Drivetrain code is essentially done, so when the drivetrain is assembled, it should be driveable.

			Need to know what sensors there are, and where.
