We seem to be on track with our deadlines so far. Our new drive train design was supposed to be finished last night, and everything is supposed to be designed by the time we close the shop on Wednesday, and our drive train should (hopefully) be completed by the end of week 3. We still haven't chosen a manipulator, but we're prototyping a few different ideas right now. So far, things are going much, much better than last year.

Unfortunately, our shop will be closed during finals week (week 4), so we have 5 weeks to finish a robot when we've had intense difficulties doing so in 6 in the past.
