A short little video showing that our stuff is talking together! Soon a fully working base!

DC Bench Supply
Just a quick, little update. As we have been working on our robot, we have needed a good source of DC power in various voltages. Campus labs have pretty nice variable supplies, but we can’t always be on campus. DC supplies tend to be a little pricey, so David and I decided to convert an ATX PC power supply to a usable bench supply. This is my personal one, and I followed these links to do it. It turned out great and cost me fractions of what a normal supply would.
Sorry for the lack of non-technical updates. It is just where I am at now. Lots of work being done rapidly. I promise I am working on something not related at all to engineering work though. I think it is coming along awesomely, too.
Hey everyone,
The semester is finally over. I’ve been to hell and back. I have touched the face of god and lived to tell the tale. I’ve consumed enough caffeine to kill a Rhinoceros. What you can gather is I’ve worked to exhaustion and then kept working. It’s been a wild ride and I’m still recovering.
When I last left you guys we were just starting the semester and had lots of work to go. Well, we have compiled our final paper of the semester and gave our final presentation. I thought I’d upload them for anyone to check out. They are hefty, and lousy with technical jargon, but anyone brave enough is welcome to sift through the documents. Due to us being split into two groups (in name only), some information is missing in ours. I am trying to acquire the other groups documents to put up. (This has been changed to include all documents)
We are planning on building the base over this break and hopefully have a working, moving robot before the next semester starts up. Just keep your internet web browser pointed here for updates.
Here is the final design documents of the semester.
Here is the final presentations minus videos.
