We drove the robot! Or rather, twitched the robot. Because programming has also been twitching due to the fact that they have no robot to test/break/make mechanical fix, I decided to give them SOMETHING on Monday. When Aron Linker was done with putting chain on the drive-train, I asked Geir Lindborg (original creator and captain of team, current electronics guru among other things) to throw the electronics development board on the chassis "quick 'n dirty like" so we could let programming drive it. Dev (yes, we have a programmer who's actual name is Dev) uploaded code and (the second time) it worked. We only had one tank tread, due to the fact that we originally did not order enough (when it was ordered it was for wheels not treads) and are waiting for the rest. Nevertheless, the robot did move.
It's alIIIIIIIve!!!!!!
