Been a little busy this weekend

But for all that, I made some progress. Nothing worth pitchers, but I've got Processing working on the Ubuntu laptop I'm intending to eventually use as Skynet's brain. Arduino is a different story, but that's OK: I can write and upload those scripts on another machine, and just have the board talk to the Ubuntu machine.

Also, the capacitors I need for ground-coupling the motor driver chips arrived on Friday, and I picked up the infrared emitter/detector pair I need for the barrel sensor, so within the next day or two I should have the complete electronics setup done and tested. Then, it'll just be getting the physical structures assembled.
