     2.  Found one bad PWM cable (still on robot) -- Let's remember to get that off.

     3.  Otherwise, worked well !!!  Programmers testing all functions.

  • need to remount analog "bumper" and connect its inputs 
  • need to make lexan cover for electrical board
  • need to mount signal light
  • clean up wiring - make sure it doesn't exceed maximum dimensions of robot
