Now that the base is complete. We are going to start down two paths of development. One path for the software and makerbot electronics and the second for machining and constructing the robot.
Software & Electronics assembly: prior to thinkaweek we gathered up all the hardware for the Ubuntu PC. We also installed Ubuntu and generally had it running. We also placed all of our electronics orders and hoped they would all show up by Christmas.
Robot Construction: Some of the machine work also started prior to thinkaweek but not all of it was done. The main parts to connect the Y axis to the A frames was started, also the Z axis blocks were almost ready. We still need to fit size and place everything so there are a ton of unknowns right now.
