I was going to join you in celebration, but it seems you have exhausted the supply of exclamation points. Now I can only ask questions or make statements.

Blunt, yes, and I'm glad you guys are proud of where you are, but delusions of grandeur in getting a drivetrain running 2 weeks before ship aren't healthy.

I'm surprised JVN didn't mention that "done" is a 4 letter word.

Congrats!

We have the whole manipulator thingy on our robot finally, eagerly awaiting working code so we can see what we have to redesign :)

Re: Robot Complete minus the special systems

System 1 is undergoing changes, though it's been done for a while. Design is iterative after all. Subsystem 4 is done, whereas subsystems 3 and 7 still require manufacture (Together, system 2). We've been working hard! Subsystems 5 and 6... Let's not even talk about subsystems 5 and 6.

Hey look, it reads like a JVN blog post. :P
But really, that is our current progress.
I'm excited.
