June 22-July 10

So for the past couple of weeks we have been communicating with the head of the Humanoid department (the place we bought our Manoi from) about replacing our servos. We are going to ship the faulty servos back to the company and they are going to give us brand new ones. Unfortunately that means we will have to temporarily take apart our precious humanoid. As of now my research is at a standstill. In the meantime I have been doing extensive research on specific cameras and vision software programs to use once we have our Manoi completely built (with all 17 working servos). I only have 2 weeks left in my program so it looks like I wont get everything done, but that is how research goes. I still learned a lot and as of now I am writing an extensive research paper and making a keynote presentation for use in different research conferences.
