final construction

Day two of actual we-have-to-build-everything-NOW began early and continued onto the morning of December 11, 2009. Everyone's moods were dramatically different, and there was a bit of tension building up, which all had to be ignored so we could get this thing working!

We had people working on different things. We cleaned off all our panels, and drilled the servos into our structure. We made significant progress, and were getting very excited. There were issues, however, with regards to how we wanted it mounted, drilled into the wall, standing on the ground, or on a table? We worked all night and finally when we were ready to leave, we double checked the servos, and none of them worked. Nothing turned.
We had no idea what went wrong, but thanks to our motivated, incredible, genius of an engineer (jason!), movement returned.
