We have chosen to upgrade the robot's chassis and so I started working on this. During the last week many issues have risen with regard to the arm; the servos blew, we had to built custom servos, power to rip of the pets were not enough, and more. I focused more on the chassis, mobility, wiring, and software so while my team handles the arm I started to upgrade the robot and make sure my part of the work is done.

IR, QRD, Line following, magnetic sensor, have all been tested and all work. In the mean time i also wrote the master code which right now can run a dry run (we simulate the sensors to see how the system reponds) since we did not have the time to run the actual field so many times since many teams were lining up for it. It worked very well but we are still unsure on how it will work.

The blue geronimo was done by water jet cutting the name and putting blue tape on the inside an idea i randomly had and it turned out to be a great way to bring some cheap flare to the robot.
