We're about on schedule. It's my first year on the team, but it seems pretty rigorous. We've got some brainstorming done, and I'm pretty sure tonight will be it for prototyping. After that, we'll flesh out more work on the manipulator and get it fabricated ASAP. Since we've decided on the drive train, we'll be fabricating that now. Programming won't start for a while, but I hope we can at least try to get SOMETHING going soon. Better to start early, I say.
