Looking good, I might have missed it but what are you sitting at for weight? What motors do you have left?

What's funny is we were talking about wanting to become the Truck Town Thunder of the east coast

We are building up the resources to get that accomplished. Yes, we are already thinking long term.
Last time we weighed in with electronics, we were still a few pounds under. The frame makes it quite heavy plus a lot of fasteners. (Mind you, this thing is like a rolling AndyMark advertisement). We have all motors left, but we do not have intentions of adding an arm as of now (maybe a gripper though

) The issue was never about having the engineering knowledge of how to build an arm (avionics engineers are sorta smart right?) it was about having a design that the kids approved of while allowing us to have a design that fit into our budget as well as time/resources allotted.
As for Dustin and Chris- you guys are crazy haha.
