The hardware is nearly complete. I'm currently testing the circuits to build a PCB shield. As an engineer my focus is on the things that aren't perfect. If I started listing them here you might think I'm unsatisfied. Nothing could be further from the truth. I'm very pleased with how this is turning out and I know it will keep getting better.

Having said that, I will ask you two things: share this so that we can get smart eyes on it. I want suggestions to improve that motor on the bottom left. I really don't like the gear being exposed like that where people can get a finger caught. Ideas, please!
