Accomplished:

 -The new battery has had leads added.

 -Matthieu helped programming with the camera which now has an image on the laptop. 

 -Old battery labled dead possibly usable; it had a loose lead.  Has a charge of 10.2V however we aren't sure if its fully charged.

In Progress:

To be completed Tomorrow (put off due to lack of manpower):

1. Start working on the Mock Electrical board. Interface the following:

• 4 Jaguar Speed Controllers
  * 1 Digital Side Car
  * 1 Analog interface port
  * All associated power connections

2. Determine some absolute positional sensor options (digital pots, hall effect, potentiometers, etc).

3. Determine (with the help of programming) if we should use the CAN interface or the PWM interface.

4. Connectors needed? RJ-type connectors for CAN bus? PWM connectors? Give QTY and Part Numbers/Links (Digikey is a decent reference).
