CADD is mostly done. We are using the kit base but creating a custom belly pan to maximize the width. We plan to get gears from the LZ (and have the pilot remove them) but not the floor as we shuttle back and forth getting gears the robot will be in taking fuel in to a hopper of capacity 35(apx. ) we will dump it in the lower boiler goal in about a second. We will climb. So far we have pretty good idea how we are doing. Everything except climbing. There is a spot in the robot for the mechanism, just no mechanism yet.
The goal is to finish by the end of week 4 and get 2 weeks of auto programming (place gear on any peg) and drive practice in.
