In the Future:

2/20/13

            Our instructors have informed us that we will be using standardized electronic parts that the school will provide, so servos, batteries, receivers, and controllers will not need to be ordered. 

2/22/13

            Research has continued on the parts list.  However, I am debating whether the wheels should be ordered or if they should be bought with the rest of my basic materials

2/26/13

            I have located where I can find most of the rest of the parts that I need for construction

3/1/13

            No notable work has been done in this time period

            After consulting my partner and instructor, I have decided to rework some of the support structures on my 3D CAD model to reduce unnecessary materials, thereby cutting down the weight

3/8/13

            I am finishing up the new CAD models to include a more compact support system

3/13/13

            No notable work has been done in this time period

After looking through a catalogue given to me by one of my instructors, I have chosen the wheels that I will be using for the final design.

4/5/13

I am currently awaiting the delivery of my wheels.  In this time, I have started to draw the CAD models of my new steering systems taking into account the changed sizes of the wheels.
