    We focused this week on learning Blender, but faced serious time constraints due to midterms coming up and getting behind on homework. We started watching tutorials by "Blender Guru" on Youtube and don't think the process will actually be as hard as we were worried about. This should make it a lot easier to include slots for the LEDs and change the arm motor design. Additionally, we have decided to scale up the rat quite a bit.

    After the meeting last week, we realized that editing the mesh file @shebuildsrobots has on her GitHub is not very feasible... when we tried to upload our CAD file to the 3D printing software (Orca), the design would change and random holes were added to Remy's head, and we had countless issues with spiraling and sizing. Instead, we opted to design the rat ourselves from the ground up using Blender. The focus for this week will be starting on Blender tutorials. Since this is a pretty major bottleneck in our project, we are cutting down on our goals to get rid of the accelerometers and are now instead going to have the arms move randomly using only the arduino nano every.
