We more or less have all of the parts and metal we need for the whole bot - we are just waiting on two shipments for gearboxes, chain, sprockets, and shaft. After that, it's just a matter of building and fabricating. EVERYTHING, including the bumpers, lexan top plates, signage, etc. is modeled in CAD so now we just have to do it in real life.

Our chassis body should be completed and together today (we have about 75 holes to drill and tap for 1/4-20). Depending on if those shipments come in today then the whole chassis will be moving by this weekend.

If we can get the chassis 100% complete and moving, with electronics, etc then next week we will start building the manipulators. This year we are building the robot step by step, instead of splitting everything thing up and assemble it in the last week (to find that nothing winds up fitting together right).
