Was at Robogames during the last meeting.

- Added a reclining camping chair and a joystick for steering in place of barstool.
- Used both barstool and recliner at Maker Faire due to poor solder inside the, brand new in the box, Joystick.

- Finally got a new wheel from the guys at the Tech Shop.
- Drunk employee crashed the scooter, cracked an aluminum hub and a wheel.
- I was never told of the crash.
- He rode it without consent.

Mapped all of the hundreds of components on the Dolphin board to a spreadsheet.
- This makes possible the ability to compare parts from one generation of board to another.
- Should help find the differences in parts between relaible boards and non-reliable boards.
- The goal is to find the source of the dropout issues.

Purchased a 60v 30a constant current constant voltage power suppply from Ebay.
- It was supposedly fully tested.
- The fan, one filter cap and a third part were shorted.

- Works great for recharging batteries during load testing.

- We are testing Liquid Nails and canvas.

Scored a dozen important circuit boards for USE vehicles.
- Was suppose to be split up.
- Suddenly found boards on Ebay.
- Emailed owner and asked if I could buy them. He agreed.
- Pissed off a few people.

Got moderated on my own forum.
