Electrical - board is going on the robot!  Added terminals to new batteries.  More limit switches have been obtained.  Camera mount needs to be reworked.

Controls - sent in revised drawing for top joystick mount.  Sliders appear to not work - may need to have a Plan B.  Need to decide whether to ship the controls with the robot or not.

Mechanical kicker - mounted sensor for kicker, started on beater bar (will be on tonight).  Need to figure out what will "skin" the robot.

Mechanical hanger - need to make collars for tubes, otherwise all set.

Field - field is being moved into gym.  Will set it up on Friday for practice and Rally.

Drivetrain - waiting on superstructure before making bumpers.

Programming - autonomous mode has been debugged.

Everyone - weight is the big issue.  Trim anything unnecessary!  Mechanical has been working on weight issues all day.  Suggestion: replace Lexan with netting on the superstructure, except over the electrical board (sponsor stickers will go on that piece of Lexan).  Put a small strip of thin Lexan around the top of the superstructure, so that Harris and PHS logos can be put on all four sides.  An estimate of weight for this strategy must be created tonight, to compare to the weight of Lexan over the entire superstructure.
