Updated Schedule and To-Do list

We have updated our calendar with expected times of completion for the remaining parts that need to be manufactured and assembled. We are still waiting on our piece of 1/8th" aluminum from McMaster Carr. Once this is received, we will be able to complete the manufacturing and assembly of the body of Autobot. Because we were slow to receive this piece, our completion of the two machines were pushed back to the end of the week instead of our goal completion time which would have been mid-week.

Our to-do list includes (Overall):
- Finish manufacturing and assembly of roller (should be completed by tonight 11/28)
- Order last electrical parts needed for roller timer (11/28)
- Review dimensions of Decepticon, manufacture and assemble (11/30)
- Timer circuit assembled for roller (12/2)
- Attach motors to bots and attach lead wires to motors, everything electrical complete (12/2)
- Autobot and Decepticon completed (12/2)
- Blog post that includes recap of completion of both bots as well as video (12/6)
- Bots are inspected and held until competition (12/7)
- Debugging and practice maneuvering the machines (12/2-12/7)
- Individual Reflections (12/12)
