Today we spent the beginning of class learning about the different types of gears and how to do different calculations involving gears.  The rest of class was used for us to work on our robots for our project two.  I finished the wiring for all the components for my robot.  I started to to work on getting the arm on top of my robot to work, when to two servomotors at the base of the arm stopped working.  It looked like the connector the goes from the servomotor to the actual arm was stripped out, and the other motor stopped working altogether.  I took them both off the arm and Dr. B took them home to look at them.  I also started writing the program for other parts of the robot.  I forgot to take some pictures of my progress today.
