Science is nearly finished designing our custom spectrometer!
Mechanical has finalized the suspension and begun machining parts! We are cutting the carbon fiber tubing, milling and lathing out suspension linkages, and continuing on arm design.
Electrical and programming have joined forces and have begun spinning motors and interfacing with ROS!
Overall, we are on track for the SAR deadline on March 1st. Machining and assembly is our next biggest hurdle, but we made good progress this week!
