Progress:

• Michael, Cedric, and Jim worked on putting together the order for the motherboard components
• Somesh was working on breadboarding something, possibly the motor control circuit?
• Nikola was stripping an old laser printer for parts: we got a motor, some optostops, and a few other interesting bits out.
• Adam S. and Branko worked on modeling parts in Pro/E. We almost have everything, I think.
• Adam H. helped with the modeling then started trying to figure out how we could make some parts out of MDF with the machines we have downstairs
• I (Ben) did my best to keep my daughter (Leah) pacified with the help of Monsters Inc. and Shrek. While I wasn't doing that, I spent some time organizing what needs to be done, and offering Pro/E advice to those who were interested.
• Costa and Devin spent a while in the basement cranking out parts (more on this later. I plan to start posting pictures of parts soon)
