second day on the job (for me)
Couldn't stay long today. The two sets of pieces for the start of the frames for our robots were finished tues., so we (I, Kalifa, Caroline, and Rohisha) started screwing them together today.
Made the bottom square for one robot with no problems. All 4 32 in. pieces and the two 27 in. pieces were cut and drilled properly and fit together well. We forgot to put on the sealant the first time we screwed it together, though, so we had to take the two end pieces out and do it again. Didn't take long the second time. We left the interior supports without sealant, and screwed loosely for now, because design isn't sure of their final location yet.
Showed the size of the frame to control systems; wanted more information than design gave us grunts yet. Specifically, neither we nor design have any idea how much space they'll have for the control board. Design said it might be ready by tomorrow.
The second robot we had a problem. Someone hadn't aligned one of the interior 32 in. pieces properly when they'd drilled it. I started making another 32 in. piece and finished sawing and sanding it before I was called away. I hope whoever finished it (I handed the task to Kalifa, but who knows) and drilled the holes got them lined up properly this time.
