This is an update post on the drill press. The technician came out today and diagnosed the problem as a 'broken roll pin in spindle lever' . However, I need to order the whole spindle assembly because the part isn't singly available. Luckily, it is covered under warranty so I don't have to pay it, but that's not the issue. The issue is that I wont be able to use the drill press for another two weeks! This is a huge setback. I will have to keep cutting pieces and just mark all the holes.
I ordered the servos and current sensors so Ben can get started interfacing them with the Beaglebone. He is going to work on getting an Xbox 360 controller interfaced with the Beaglebone this weekend.
I also ordered all of the drivetrain components from SurplusCenter. Total came out to be approximately 380 dollars.
