Progress has been slow to start, as expected. Due to exterior commitments with my personal prop business, the armor building has to be pushed back to next week.

However, this past week was spent working on orienting myself with all the various sensors and outputs I will be using. My light strips are GRB and RGBW respectively and cause problems until I found the differences. Servos worked exactly as planned and are easily able to be scaled off of a few pins. The DC motor however, works but does not have near the power output I was looking for. The plan is to add a separate battery specifically for the engines with a higher voltage as the engines wont be as active as the other outputs and require a higher V output.

This week will be extensive patterning and carrying into spring break with be a majority of my armor work and fabrication.

Also: My contacts for the replica came in this Monday and I did a test fit.
