Re: NASA Langely/VCU Regional: Where do we stand?

Well hmm... not sure how to put it...
We're doing ok. We're pulling another all-nighter tue-wed, and maybe one last one wed-thu depending on how things work out.
Our drive has been done for a while, and I think all the kinks are worked out. She drives like a stick of butter on a hot pan - slick.
As for our subsystems, they're mostly done. Our goal hooks were repaired from the damage that was done on sunday, as well as our arm piece. We found that we can sucessfully hook the goals and uncap them without our gripper, but we have to hit a flat side of the mobile goal.
As for our gripper arm, we still havent gotten it running yet. We're working on our folding mechanism; fitting in that start box is mighty tricky with our grabber
We're looking forward to VCU, only a bit longer to go guys.
Look for The Claw TNG out on the field, you'll recognize it as the robot with the giant 3 prong gripper.
Will post pics when complete, maybe even video.
Oh and as far as programming goes, we still need a bit of time...
