Like I said, I've been very pressed for time these past two weeks. This weekend, I hope to be focusing my energy on programming. So far, I've made a program to check if a user data file is in existence, but it's specific to my system, so I'll need to work on that. Once that's done, "personality coding" will commence. I don't seem to have a pile of homework scheduled for tomorrow, so I'm okay there. Note to self: stockpile tea and coffee.

Today, I had some acrylic discs laser cut so I can have a more sturdy attachment of the servos to the wheels (meaning, I've got more surface area to glue with). Obviously, the product version would have a better method of attachment, but like the contest says, this is a prototype, so I'm using what I can to get further funding.

I keep saying this, but by tomorrow I will hopefully have the two batteries ordered (I have a bit of a better financial situation with regards to the project).

"Productized" image has been outlined, will be scanned, colored, etc. in time. It's different looking from the prototype, but again, "productized".

Controller is up next, hopefully laser cut by tomorrow then soldered over the weekend (I've got some good buttons for the job). May need to make another cardboard screen case for now, but that's okay; Kagaku and I will live. One piece at a time. I'll save it for the next checkpoint, and it shouldn't be hard to get done.
