Discovered the wiki.
Day 1: 9 Jan 2012
Jacob worked on the Kinect all day. David set up the EEE PC and wrote some code. Josh and Logan hacked the Arduino and made some Solidworks models. We all worked on the pegbot. Martin was not yet back. Checkoff 1 was completed later in the day. Deans connectors were installed to protect the battery and make battery swaps easy. We implemented a modular motor connector.
Day 2: 10 Jan 2012
Jacob started working on color recognition for the Kinect. Logan's jellyfish were delivered. David finished removing the GUI from the EEE PC. Josh completed checkoff 2 using a short-range IR sensor. Martin worked in Solidworks all day.
Day 3: 11 Jan 2012
We established 500k baud serial communication between the Arduino and the laptop. Logan worked on motion control code. David and Jacob upgraded to OpenCV 2.3 and continued to work on the Kinect software. We built a filtered power supply to run the Kinect from the robot battery.
