I found a really good line sensor that matches the price of the old one. It will require a slight change to the chassis cut files, but it works much better and does not require a change in programming. Aside from that, I discovered that the servos now only come with 1 mounting screw rather than the 2 that previously secured the Servo horn to each wheel. I tried to see if I could get things to work with just 1 screw, but ultimately I just ordered some replacement screws that should arrive soon.<\/p>\n<p>I have been working with a new Makerspace and just cut a deal for some discounted machine time in exchange for help with workshops and what not. The first chassis will be cut this Saturday and photos will soon follow.<\/p>\n<p>Instructions, for those who ordered the inbuilt kits, is underway and now that I have parts to assemble, I will be adding photos soon.<\/p>\n<p>We are one step closer to having a visual programming environment with Ardublocks. A friend has figured out how to set up the Java environment so we can create new blocks to work with the Hack-E-Bot. I will try to have that going shortly after shipping, but for now getting the kits sent out is my priority.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-779\" src=\"http:\/\/www.richa1.com\/RichardAlbritton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/wpid-wp-1415818407424.jpeg\" alt=\"wpid-wp-1415818407424\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.richa1.com\/RichardAlbritton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/wpid-wp-1415818407424.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/www.richa1.com\/RichardAlbritton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/wpid-wp-1415818407424-300x170.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.richa1.com\/RichardAlbritton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/wpid-wp-1415818407424-1024x579.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.richa1.com\/RichardAlbritton\/the-parts-are-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span>Print<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.richa1.com\/RichardAlbritton\/the-parts-are-in\/?share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-778\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.richa1.com\/RichardAlbritton\/the-parts-are-in\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-778\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.richa1.com\/RichardAlbritton\/the-parts-are-in\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry for the lack of updates, but the last shipment of parts has just arrived.
