😬😬 partial assembly holds together. Now question is if it will hold together when all the wheel assemblies are in.

I can already see that this is going to fold like a cheap tent without very significant modifications. The ball joints have too much freedom and the wheels too narrow. But hey that’s why we prototype. Let’s clean this up for a break. Lots of progress today.

MAJOR MILESTONE! First mechanical test assembly! Janky as hell and awful in a hundred ways but it doesn’t entirely collapse!

Okay, here we go again. I’m supposed to do a build update on Monday and have done nothing since December so the goal is to do a short heavy lift to show some progress, any progress… just spent half an hour figuring out how to connect to the rover over WiFi 😬

My own documentation sucks and so does the official documentation but eventually figured it out and got back to the starting line of blinky

Really bad solder joins. Lumps on some that prevent the heat shrinks from sliding on. Shoulda known and used bigger ones. I need an Igor. Or just a young lab assistant with better eyesight and better dexterity.
