Drivetrain
Painted the frame, cut the axles, putting chain on the last four wheels. Should have a drivetrain tonight.
Arm/Manipulator Minibot deployment mechanism is located in CAD, so arm can be positioned around it. Working on building the support structure for the arm. The location for the "tusks" (for centering on the tower) is still being worked on. May need to tie the two wheel motors together for structural stability, when assembling the upper framework.
Minibot/Deployer
Electrical Main
Think about adding another encoder at the top of the arm so that "chain slop" doesn't give bad sensor readings - must hash this out with Programming.
