I talked to Tim from VIA Technologies. They're going to choose a team to sponsor to be their official Grand Challenge team, and we're hoping that they choose The Prodigies.
Website construction is almost complete. This morning I put some more LT230 parts on eBay to try to raise some money for a drill press. These include a gas tank, exhaust system, and rear grab bar.
This website is UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Chris and I just put up the new homepage, but we haven't updated the rest of the site. Since we're getting rid of the intro page I wrote some javascript that redirects people to the homepage. The rest of the website will probably be updated sometime later today.
I just got back from a solid four-day building period in Tacoma. Our goal was to finish the entire front end but we need a drill press before that's possible. We still got a lot done.
Almost done with the route finder now. Screen shots coming soon. Yesterday I began experimenting with real time learning for neural networks. Today I'm going up to Chris's house for more work on the vehicle.
More work on the route finder. Today I taped my solar panel in the window and connected it to my charging circuit to maintain the battery voltage. Soon we'll be able to keep it charged with the new alternator that my cousin has up in Tacoma.
I've been working a lot on a route finder program that uses a lot of geometry stuff like tangents and whatnot. We should really start working more on the vehicle. I graduate from 8th grade tomorrow!
