We have made considerable progress during our first week in the machine shop. Between our three milling sessions, we have completed several parts, and gotten through a large portion of the work on the parts for the chassis and the arm.
We did make some mistakes, notably, having incorrect dimensions for the motors, which led us to drill some of the attachment holes in the wrong place. We also cut some of the parts too short, or at too much of an angle on the band saw, which forced us to scrap two pieces of 1" tubing.
We still need to finish the baseplate, some holes in the arm, and reaming the axle bushings on the mill, and we also need to turn the axles on the lathe, but within the next few machine shop sessions, we should be able to begin assembling and testing the robot.
