So the gauntlet is getting closer to being finished by the second and after quite a while, there's progress coming fast. I've been working on the gauntlet and there are currently three versions made. There's the gauntlet from a year ago, a now recycled gauntlet and this bad boy:

In eh picture quality, there is currently both servos for the rocket launcher opening/closing system, two arduino pro minis (one for rocket launcher, one for gauntlet opening/closing system), a servo tester to test the rocket launcher hold and an opening to mark the sides without hinges. Mini pneumatic cylinders will be added to (hold) the gauntlet and as a cheap way to fix the gauntlet if I grow. There are 6 blue LEDS, 4 of which turn on with the gauntlet opened and two with the rocket launcher opening. Some things to be included once the basic neccesities are there is

- Tungsten to protect metal from melting ( tungsten can withstand about 6,192°F or 3,422°C ).

- Aerogel (maybe but it's kind of expensive) for heat dispertion

-Enviornmental control

-Penny-Sized nanobots for part replacement

and all other typed of stuff

The gauntlet is currently being given rfid tags, wire organization and other fixes.

Then there's Jarvis. @Chati Aro Has been a huge help with Jarvis. Here's some functions so far: 

FM = Feature Matching (Matches the features of a given image with a base image and displays the result)

LD = Letter Detection 

MD = Motion Detection (Detects any sort of motion infront of the camera

PD = Pedestrian Detection (Can detect any person walking on streets.. Used an image from GTA as an output example)

SD = Shape Detection

Without @Chati Aro, this would not be possible.

While videos are in production, i'm adding in some plans for circuits. Some people may remember this

Well i'm taking the basic ideas of it and am trying to rig it up. Until I start putting in the advanced stuff, that's all for now.
