This was phase one of the construction of Glintx, during this time we confirmed that all the electric parts we purchased worked together as intended and we were able to get all the electrics set up and fitted within the 3d printed frame!

Surprisingly, all the electric parts worked first try and we had almost no compatibility issues. One problem we did run into however was the motors being slightly too weak for the carriage we designed, we had originally ordered metal toothed tt-motors for this project that had plenty of torque for such a little carriage, however due to Amazon delays we had to purchase one ourself from a local supplier which turned out to not have enough power for the project. Just as we were wondering what to do, since we were in a rush to complete this project for Outpost, the Amazon eta got moved up! We were able to get the motors that same day after it had been stated to be delayed by over a week!

Now all we had to do was get the full frame put together and pack for Outpost!

-this was an edit to the original devlog as I didn’t have enough time to write a proper one in the rush.
