Machining nearing end

We've basically finished all the machining needed for the machine. We put it a lot of hours in the lab this week, but the machining for our slotbot is basically finished. Several unseen problems set us back throughout the machining process such as the mill unexpectedly breaking, but we were able to successfully adapt and overcome these challenges. We took the machine back with us today and Christian will finish assembling it over the weekend. I'll go in Monday morning to solder the motor wires and we'll be all set to demonstrate the completed machine during lab section.

We're also going to meet up on Sunday to make the team video and possibly discuss any small changes to the machine for the final demonstration on Wednesday.
