It's been an incredible ride... never in my dreams would I have thought that I, Neil Emeigh, would be capable of building robots that are as scalable as our design is. Industrial robots are not far fetched from our knowledge at this point, and that's something I still have to pinch myself for to remind myself it is real.
Our robot had many hiccups and headaches, but we finally achieved a final product that we set out for. During the initial build phase we have come across MANY design flaws that we plan on making more efficient in the future. This prototype is for demonstration and proof-of-concept that we are able to do such a thing.
Here is the robot in action:

Taylor and I both plan on continuing with the build of this robot in the future, as well as many other robotic designs we have already brainstormed up. This was such an incredible experience that I'll never forget. I owe my thanks to the CS department and Dr. Hastings for allowing us to do such a project and for believing in us throughout the journey.
Total hours: We slacked on keeping track of this as the time required for this project was too many and we were more concerned with getting a final product done than recording all the details with the steps we took. Our project was a stretch to complete in a semester's time, but we put the hours in to get it finished on time. If I were to estimate, it took us about 100-150 hours each from start to finish.
