Getting Back soon

It's been a real busy summer and fall so far - but I will be getting back on the project real soon.

I still have to replace the bad servo, I've gotten the replacement - Thanks Pololu! Once I get that done, I can get back to startup testing.

I still need to get the ground movement encoder boxes finished, I may end up replacing one pair of wheels due to the poor mounting and 12V brakes.

I still need to wire up the arm motors, and add the rotation motor to the arm assembly.

Another noted change - I will be swapping out the Phidget SBC2 with a Raspberry Pi.  I had only borrowed the SBC2, and now that I have my Pi, I'll use that instead to do pretty much the same thing.  I hadn't planned on using the built in IO of the SBC2 anyway, so this shouldn't be an issue.

Just wanted to keep anyone reading informed!
