I modified the robotic arm to only have 5 DOF capability due to arm loading issues. I also purchased a Chumby Hacker Board to control a second robot. I need the second board to start working on the networking capability with the bots for the competition. Right now I need to get on the stick and get some designs done. I have been working on the software architecture which includes a statechart mechanism and a blackboard system. The two of these will go hand in hand to get the overall architecture going. Right now I am also getting some updates and configurations for the development system on the Ubuntu Laptop up and running. I will begin working on compiling a kernel for the CHB and for the Chumby One that I have. I have also ordered a BAM and bluetooth USB connector for connecting to the iRobot Create without a physical connection.
