Anodized Parts 

We received our parts back from anodization today. This was a nice surprise since we expected the parts to come back on Thursday.  Assembly on the drive chassis has been started, but bearings have yet to be installed.

Autonomous

Today, the programmers had a meeting to discuss future code changes. Other than minor problems, most of the code worked well. Because of this, they decided to start developing several autonomous routines. 

Practice Bot Wiring

Today, we started to rewire the electronics on the practice bot. The cleanliness and organization of the electronics used to be really bad, which made them unmaintainable and problematic.
