Today in class we spent the time finishing up our programs so our robots will write our initials on the floor.  The letter my robot had to write were CJW.  Over the weekend i disassembled the right wheel and reassembled it, being more careful to make sure the motor mount wasn't rubbing any of the exposed gears on the motor.  Today when I went to test the robot both wheels worked fine, so I suppose that reassembling the motor worked.  We also received a new power cord with a smaller diameter that fits better in the power terminal on our circuit board.  I made small adjustments to the program and did an official run at the end of class. 
           The three pictures below are different angles of my finished robot

This video is of the robot making CJW.  The letters are formed more vertically than horizontally.
