11/7

Today was an interesting day building the robot in SolidWorks; the way that the robot is built and has bent material is quite hard to recreate. The way some of these materials are placed have to be mated with tangents and that gets very icky, but I'll do my best. Aside from that, I believe that the robot is in its final stages and there won't be much change in it from now on.
