Couch Potato - Frame Works and Dirty Wheels

Couch Potato - Frame Works and Dirty Wheels

Getting the Frame Started

A visit to the welding crew began the process of our frame. We opted to have their afternoon class work
on it, and we were given a completion time frame of approximately one week. Once completed, they
will bring it to our classroom for our use. Aside from that, we continued to clean the wheels, which
proves to be quite difficult, what with our only cleaning supplies being a bag of baby wipes.

What Steps Did We Solve:

1. Test Motors - Done - We have tested our motors, and they function correctly.
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. Moving Care with Joystick - Done - We have figured out how to move the car with our joystick code.
5. Finishing Touches on Frame Planning - Done - Our frame is ready, and is being built.

Next Steps:

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

1. Build Frame - In Progress - 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.
