I want to have consistent logs and so i'm going to be posting logs every Friday.
Currently I am waiting on a motor to test the motor assembly, which should be here Saturday (tomorrow). In the meantime I have been printing some of the parts that I assume wont change very much such as mounts and brackets. I also printed a 1/2 scale model of the head just as a desk piece, for motivation I guess. Its pretty funny because the Arduino mega doesn't even fit inside of it and there is barley enough room for one motor.
Still working on the cad model, mostly deciding on how the head is going to spin, initially I had decided to just put a motor in the middle of the robot which would be the simplest mechanism. This though would not allow wires to pass from the base to the head. If I want power and control wires to pass through the head I need to design a sort of ring to rotate around, this shouldn't be too difficult.
