After a much appreciated five day weekend we got right back into the swing of things today as we put the finishing touches on our robot and began the final testing ad debugging stages of the autonomous programs. Being that I am borderline useless when it comes to programing I found myself sitting aside staring at what was little more than a two layers of wood on four wheels. I then had the idea to convert it into the two layer cart we needed as opposed to spending 100$ or more on a new one. I initially intended on putting the project off until tomorrow, but my teammate, Magic Mike as I like to call him, got me off my lazy butt and convinced me to get started. I surprised even myself when I not only started but finished the cart today with the exception of swapping out the current clunky wheels for some omni directional wheels, which will not only make the cart easier to turn but slim it down enough to fit through a single door. All the little things seem to be coming together as we enter the home stretch before our competition on February 8th.
