Competed Feast prezi and sent off. Still needs some writing with Marcin.

Worked 8 hours with Marcin on Micro House foundation prep.

Staying a KC airport tonight for very early flight. Plan to return Friday.

Sunday, September 22, 2013

Went to Cameron early for fluid. Tractor drove really well.

Worked on Feast prezi

Help Marcin get started on Micro House prep.

Saturday, September 21, 2013

Long day... until 3am but everything went well with build...just many little things added up. Was complete and ready to drive but we didn't have enough hydraulic fluid.

Friday, September 20, 2013

Much smoother sailing on today's build. Wheel mounts went on cleanly, pivot worked well, rolling chassis complete, hydraulics started.

Thursday, September 19, 2013

Long build until about 2am. In my view, need group discussion regarding fit within wheel mounts and hubs. Many hours dealing with impossible tight fits. Forced to use 7/8" bolts on wheel mounts. -- No way to estimate how long these processes are taking because of these problems... but perhaps can create tips for builders in the future.

Showed Emmett how to create time lapses in Adobe Premiere and he created the ones so far.

Began work on Feast Prezi but deadline moved... best if have quick chat with Marcin.
