friday work on frame
Slow going yesterday. We had handed off one robot's frame to Design to experiment on on Thursday, and yesterday we finished the bottom of the second robot.
This second robot is increasingly frustrating. Apparently, the driller's zero had broken, and once that had been fixed a piece of 80/20 still hadn't been cut properly. I made another 32 in. piece and drilled it, and Rohisha had to re-drill the hole in another 32 in. piece.
Meanwhile, while I was making the replacement, Rohisha and Caroline had to check the corner supports they'd put in on Thursday. Apparently, they'd used some screws of the wrong length that Eric had caught on the square we'd handed him. Good thing we checked: All the screws needed replacement.
Getting the frame put together went absurdly slow, I think because of two reasons: It was friday, and design admitted that until they'd settled on specifics from fiddling around on a test frame, we wouldn't have anything else to do.
