June 7 Meeting: Focus on the drivetrains

No frills at this evening's meeting it was 90 minutes all about getting as close to drivetrain functionality for all three teams as possible.  1414A has a fully completed and functional drivetrain, 1414B & C both had a little more work to do as their new electronics needed paring and firmware upgrades along with mechanical assembly work.  Both of these teams completed paring the electronics and 1414B also completed the firmware upgrade.  B will be up and running after completing motor wiring while 1414C just needs to wire and upgrade firmware and software.  Tonight, all the teams helped each other, learned about labeling motors by port numbers, and shared responsibility for getting work done.

In the end, all teams celebrated a solid effort taking turns test driving the complete 1414A drivtrain:
