Re: How Close are you to done?

The drive train is complete...well, sort of, we are going to put lower low-speed gears on tonight or tomorrow...

The pickup system works beautifully, and our hopper is taped together, ready for construction tonight...

I don't know about autonomous, for I've been busy with the hopper lately, but I reckon that we'll be alright there...

All in all, we should be finished building tomorrow night, then we can move on to drive team selection/training...using last year's main driver, I reckon, new co-pilot, though...

Also, on that drivetrain of ours, we had some trouble with handle-ability, so we slowed the motors (4 CIMs) down to half torque... and the thing would still push me (210 lbs) around in a regular desk chair (the kind without wheels)!
Yes, when we get the new gears in, we will turn the motors back up to full torque.
BE AFRAID!
