Update on the state of things

- Kevin and I are working on making the relative-position control code work with the mecanum wheels, which should be done soon.

- The Lincoln High team has graciously offered us the use of a robot to build on for the bunny-bot challenge. This bot should be arriving relatively soon.

- The Cleveland-Franklin team may be able to lend us some spare motors and bits of metal. I'm still looking into this, and will post more info as it comes up.


Once we get a working robot, it would be a good idea to drive it around the school several times a week at times like lunch, before and after school, or in tech classes, to get people interested in the club.
