Jason Neurath, Talon Culp, and I met to build for the first Midwest Robots build day and barbecue at Clay Cardwell's house. A little discussion about the future of our group, a lot of robot building talk, and even more joke telling. We had a great time! Thank you for hosting Clay.
I was excited to see Clay's CNC machine. The rear track kept binding on it's rear eight foot track. So Clay, with some help from the group, trouble shot the problems. Clay swapped some of the motors around and then shifted one of the X-axis tracks to square up the machine. All of the work paid off. After some fine tuning, the machine started working.
Clay tested the CNC out by cutting a Superman logo in some foam insulation.
With the CNC working as Clay intended, Clay practiced cutting out some Nomad panels for Talon in some foam.
One of the next big things I need to work on for R2 is the electronics. Talon showed me how he wired his droid.
Jason worked on cutting the panels out of his aluminum skins and filing down any barbs.
Talon worked on the his A&A R2 body parts.
