Couch Potato - Checking Up on the Frame

Checking Up on the Frame

A conversation with Mr. Burnham left us to head to the Welding class to check up on our frame. We brought our plans
with us, ready to start this thing when they are. After visiting, they said that they would start something on Friday.
As far as our actual couch goes, Mr. Burnham said that he would look online for one. Hopefully we will get
that, and our frame, soon. For the rest of class, we continued any misc. work that still needs to be done. We were\
given access to one of the RC cars to test our joystick with.

2. Test Motor Controller - Done - We have tested our motor controller, and it functions correctly.
3. Plan Frame - Done - We have designed a versatile frame for our couch, and visited the Welding class.
4. Finishing Touches on frame Planning - Done - The frame is, more or less, done in the planning stage.

Next Steps:

 List all the current steps in order of priority. Mark "Pending", "In Progress", "Road Block", "Done"

1. Build Frame - Pending - With our frame planned, we need to have the Welding team begin building it.
2. Cleaning the Motors - In Progress - The motors are dirty, and need to be cleaned out.
3. Testing Motor Control with Joystick and Coding - In Progress-  We need to use our coding and a joystick to check how the joystick controls the motor, and how will it steer.
