I recently began drilling holes for the tracks. I have about 400 holes to drill soI needed to find an efficient way to do this, otherwise it would take ages. So what here is what I came up with
- First, figure out the spacing of each cleat
- Mark the pieces that need to be drilled
- Measure 1/8" in on the plastic attachment of the chain and mark with pencil
- Use auto center punch to create indentation where center of hole will be
- Drill using hand drill
- Repeat 8 times
Well, I only got 1/4 of the way done, but now that I got the process down, it should go quicker

Ben finished configuring the controller to output useful data as well as installing the python library from Adafruit
Goals For Me
- Order NPC -1200 motors for discounted price http://hobby.npcrobotics.com/store/npc-1200/ √
- Send off Motor mounts and shock absorber support to be welded √
- Cut plastic sheets to appropriate dimensions √
- Mount and wire all electrical components
- Design motor mounts
- Cut and mount battery bolts
Goals For Ben
- Configure servos with controller
- Get a LED to turn on and off by the touch of a button
- Interface TMP36 temperature sensor readings to output Fahrenheit temperatures to monitor
- Order Logitech C920 camera and Sabertooth 2x60
