We were also able to fix our issues with the IR camera driver as well as rigidly mount the IR camera.  It now works well and reliably.  We took the checkerboard pattern into the bright sunlight and were able to see it with the IR camera.  This will allow us to calibrate the IR camera with the Hokuyo.  : )

This weekend we constructed a ball grabber that works very well.  There is still work to be done on controlling the RC car and mounting the APRIL tags.  We'll put up a video closer to competition.

We also mounted the water cannon and waterproofed all of our open connections.  With only 9 days remaining, things are starting to come together.
