We did re-mount the NXT in such a way that it fits inside the sizing cube. The cables were rearranged to be safer and not get caught in the wheels. The infrared detector has been hooked up, but not programmed yet.
There were a bunch of people trying to adjust the ball intake device so that it can fit and move the large balls, but I do not believe they were successful. The creator of that device should be present tomorrow, so we might get it properly adjusted.
We continued trying to attach small pieces of metal to the end of extruded channels to cap them (to use as telescoping pieces in a lift), this time by soldering. It did not stick, so we're probably going back to tape, or maybe just abandoning the lift. It hit us today that unless something miraculous happens tomorrow, we're not going to have anything to show at the meet besides the ability to drive around. That might just have to be how it is - it's only the first meet of the season.
