When I finished assembling this test rig on late Tuesday night, I sat back and stared and realized that maybe I’ve actually accomplished something. Such a weird feeling!

The test rig is mounted on a small kitchen chopping board that I got at Goodwill and normally use for soldering on top of so that I don’t get solder on the work table. Now it’s been pressed into service as a test rig platform.

Going from lower left to upper right: micro servos, Arduino, photocells.

I’ll test it this morning and if it passes, the cutting of the acrylic will occur at Metrix by afternoon and by Saturday I’ll be doing a demo at the Seattle Robotics Society meeting.

Happy 1728!
