Well the electronics board is now fixed, turns out it had been wired wrongly the first time (which wasnt anythin to do with me at all...) anyway its been put back together, the right way, and hopefully wont break again.
Between this weeks meeting and last weeks meeting our front castors were fixed, thanks to Geraint and of course aluminium.
Work continues on the flail and and motor connectors. The mounting brackets for the flail, more aluminium of course, have been made and will be mounted next week followed by the flail (hopefully)
The motor connectors have been made several times, out of several things (wooden dowel, metal tube etc) but its now been decided to use some long nuts and remove the thread halfway down. This will allow it to screw onto the bolt of the wheel and allow it to connect to the drive shaft of the motor. This means getting PD (product design) to remove the thread for use, as they have the machine to do it, so we have to go and ask them nicely.
Thats pretty much all that happened, other than people doin something to do with programing. i dont quite no what they were doin they went in a different room, i think they may have been getting to grips with the system so they understand how it works.
I managed to take some pictures this week (not many but hay) so here they are.
The fixed castors
The robot so far (well the chasis of it anyway)
