What if… it is possible? Just when we thought time had run out, a twist of fate gave us a second chance: two more weeks to complete our tiny excavator with one of those weeks taken up by final exams. It’s a narrow window, but this time, we believe in it more than ever. Hope is back on the table.

During this latest session, we made some important strides. We began the Arduino wiring, laying the foundation for the robot's control system. We also started cutting structural parts out of wood, adapting our design to better suit the materials we had on hand. And perhaps most importantly, we began designing the wheels, aiming for a balance between functionality and stability.

Yet, let’s be honest  there’s still a lot of work ahead. Many components remain to be assembled, fine-tuned, and tested. The 3D-printed parts are still partially unfinished, the wiring needs to be finalized, and the mechanical integration of motors and servos requires careful attention.

But despite the pressure, the time crunch, and the looming exams, we’ve seen a shift: the project is no longer stuck. It's moving forward, piece by piece. It’s no longer about catching up, it's about believing it’s still possible.

So yes, we’re late, but we haven’t given up.

This time, we truly believe we’ll finish the project you’ve all been waiting for.
