    Currently finishing out the design phase of the robot, along with acquiring/building all of the parts. 

    Done-

    1. Tested PICO board controlling a motor and a servo 
    2. Printed main chassis and it failed 
    3. Redesigned main chassis
    4. Added LoRa COM module and found batteries that would fit  
    5. Sent a wheel off to get printed in MJF Nylon PA12 (MJF)
    6. Have most parts, waiting on servos and a few others 

    Need to do:

    1. Print main chassis and cover
    2. Print wheel arms 
    3. Test wheel when back make changes if needed 
    4. Order more wheels, need 4 :)
    5. Wire up camera 
    6. Program some "get it working code"
    7. Add arms and micro gear motors
    8. Test servos with arms
    9. Add wheels and do a bunch of tests. 
    10. Buy simulated moon regolith?
    11. Redesign and make robust for education version
