Matrix Build Log 3

All the boards cut, ping-pong balls are here, time to start sticking them on and drilling them. This time I can lay them out on one board and then glue them onto another (like a sandwich) which saves a lot of time (down to about 45 mins a board, 30 if I push it). Done three already, but now I have conscripted Midge (our captain for RoboCup) to help drill and glue, and have left him doing it, whilst my lazy self goes off home (he has to stay to 8:15 tonight, I go at 7:00). The dreaded task of soldering them is getting ever closer... On the plus side I have settled on how to attach them, with 2 3/4 inch flatbars, screwed at one end, whilst bolted at the other (disassembly for storage). No Pics yet, but will post when all done.
