Never mind about making progress soon...

Last week I said that I may start making progress forward, well that never happened... I didn't have time this week again.  With robotics and schoolwork going on, I have not completed much.  I have been learning a lot from robotics and have been applying most of my knowledge I have gained from robotics to work on this project.  Hopefully my trip to buy steel will turn out ok!

Progress!!! Ish...

It has honestly been a while since I have worked on the skateboard.  It may be just from me not having enough time, but also not wanting to work on it.
But now, I finally have some time so I may get some work done!  I have been working away at the 3D mock-up on Autodesk Inventor and it has been going very well (except for the fact that Inventor wants to kill my project but that's besides the fact).
 I still got to order metal and few more parts, but it's going along!  Hopefully it will be complete by May.
