Day 35: Gearboxes, Field Trips, Bumpers and More
Today at the lab, we got our parts back from the anodize shop which allowed us to finally start assembling gearboxes. Everything looks great and this task should be finished in the next few days.

On a separate note, we had several FIRST Lego League students who came to tour the lab today.

Also today, the manufacturing and assembly teams were hard at work finishing the bumper frames. We will wrap fabric on the bumper frames tomorrow to hopefully finish the bumpers.
The minibot team has just about completed the CAD model of the final minibot. The design is now due for review and manufacturing in the next few days.
