All my plastic parts (with the exception of my wheels) are done. I had to completely remake the little u-channel caps for the drive motors. I also had to replace a motor, since one that I picked up at robotmarketplace had a broken tab on it. Thanks Steve for replacing that for me!! :] I need to come up with a way to restrict the third dimension of movement on these motors - a

zip tie isn't strong enough to squeeze them enough so they don't move. I can order aluminum hose clamps that fit in the slot I milled, so I may do that and hope that works... otherwise, hot-melt glue is a perfectly reasonable option. I ordered the fingertech tinyESCs a few days ago, and I'm waiting for those to show up. Today I was hoping to get up to Alro metals to pick up my aluminum for the frame and steel for the drum, but I don't think that's going to happen... I have 2 weeks to finish this bot!!
