We have a frame welded. We have lots of shooter and turret parts machined, we have lots (but not all) gearbox parts machined. And we have a conveyor prototype and a basket prototype. The basket, delivery system, and conveyor have not started real production yet. Hopefully we'll finish gearboxes tomorrow. We'll see. We have nothing assembled yet for the real thing except our welded frame.
Yeah, we are in exactly the same situation. A whole bunch of prototypes and bar-napkin-scribbles, not a whole lot of robot. Fortunately though, the operator interface and electronics board are done (they were my job), and the chassis is driveable. We can be a very effective waterbug if we don't accomplish anything this week.

EDIT: This is my 128th post! That's 10,000,000 in binary!
