Gluing & Drive Testing

After getting the parts back from the lasercamm, we were excited to get it put together to start integrating the subsystems. This was definitely a "hurry up and wait" situation; overnight drying. Maybe I just can't put together the puzzle, but I can't figure out how to glue Mike's motor mount together where it will fit. Better safe than sorry, so I will wait till he is here to do it.

LeAnn worked on controlling the old cardboard prototype to drive out of corners. Here is a video. Other than a little bit of a chatter issue with the microswitches, it seems to work fine! We haven't even gotten in the fancy omnidirectional wheels yet. Maybe we won't even need to use them (which could be awesome if they don't end up even coming till Tuesday or Wednesday next week).
