Drivetrain

Drivetrain is complete. Spacers for sprockets are here and need to be put on.

Arm/Manipulator

All the arm parts and most of the tower parts are out for manufacture. Somewhere between 1 and 20 small details need to be figured out for manufacture, but those should be done soon. Mounting points for deployer need to be integrated.

Minibot/Deployer

Changed from the big air spring to three smaller dampeners: slide tubing will now be 1" x 1" x 1/16", small air springs will sit inside the 1" x 1" tubes, and that will replace the surgical tubing for extending the slide. Will lay this out in CAD tonight, then work on the tusks.
