Re: The end of week 3

We're generally on shedule, but the real problem we're dealing with is the availability of gearboxes and gearbox parts. We've had a drive base for several days now, but we're headed for a spot between a rock and a hard place because we have no real way to use F-P or RS-550 motors at this point. We're having to cannabalize old robots, not because we can't afford new gearboxes but simply because nobody has what we need in stock.

I predict 2012 will be remembered as "the year of lots of motors and no gearboxes".
