Progress? Ha!

Well, um, our robot actually moves now. That's pretty much it, actually.

To point: We still need to finish (and attach) the arms, plug in gearbox so that we can switch gears, install the pneumatics system, install the auxiliary motors which controls the arms, and more things that I can't think about at this point. I'm thinking, by the time we actually finish the thing, there wouldn't be a whole lot time after to test it.

The programming portion is pretty much complete in relation to the current state of the robot -- things such as automatic gear switching aren't implemented yet since the gear switching mechanism doesn't actually exist. I completed the autonomous system (learning, execution, and selection) yesterday, however, and it should be good to go unless the robot runs out of memory while we're "teaching" it, which would force me to write bank switching routines for storage space. But you see, I'm not sure if I would need to do that since our robot isn't done.

I truly envy all of the teams that have their robots completed or nearly so. But to those that have a while to go yet... you're not alone.
