From two, to one

Another day starting at ten, yet this time it ended around three.

The poor test control board robot that the programmers put together (for the purpose of testing codes) was taken apart.  The reason behind this?  It was so they could take the command board and integrate it with the robot the mechs had been working on.  It can move, now!

The programmers began their real programming today: fixing the code, and actually coding for the robot now, instead of coding for a test robot.  They were working on, specifically, a code to move around the Recycling Can Manipulation, Elevation, and Depository System (which they've recently dubbed "Inspector Gadget," for its many features).

The mechs were working on, well, Inspector Gadget, which was a folding mast that could stand straight up, or fold back to stay out of the way.  Upon this mast is a large claw that they're going to use to pick up the cans. 

I guess all I can really say at this point, with what's been done today, is go go Gadget.
