1. It's kind of weird, but the Android Studio BLE GATT example won't find Tiny Robot, but the Nordic nRF Connect will. I can try and make the example work, or use the Nordic library (no app source). I don't want to go down a rat hole with either one, but I don't want to start from scratch. Tough choice.

2. Parts and PCB's for companion board (programmer, UART, charger) show up Thursday. Pretty exciting.

3. Went to an Edtech meetup tonight and got some good advice on using the robot in schools. Like telling me little kids will stomp on it, or try and pull it apart (heard this from the voice of experience).

4. I costed out the robot, and it comes to $100 in parts (before labor). Obviously this is no good and it kind of bums me out, even though I kinda knew it wasn't going to be great. I regret not being aggressive on cost from the start. I have many ideas for getting the cost down though.

5. I gave the Shenzhen motor company a good review on Alibaba.
