Another day of not working on the robot

Today was the second class in my pursuit of a CISSP certification. It was all I could do to get my work done and then get home in enough time to change clothes, eat, and sit down in front of the computer for the class. I did think a lot about what I should be doing, but I did not accomplish much. Most days are going to be that way, I am afraid. I think that some of my original plans to explore the robotic arm and a pan/tilt camera control were essentially good ideas, I just need more time to get them accomplished. Hopefully this weekend will be different and I will be able to push harder. The plans for this weekend include more testing of connections between the Laptop and the servos that need controlling, finish the 2nd prototype of the robotic arm, change out the 4GB microSD chip in the Chumby and start attempting to get ROS installed. I need to concentrate on getting the Chumby to control some of the servos and at least some of the sensors. I am hoping there will be enough horsepower in the Chumby to accomplish these things. If not, I will be spending even more money to figure out a solution. All this without completely knowing what the KIPR Open ruleset entails.
