Starting this project, I have various resources at my disposal from the Slack community which have shown the first steps for setting up the build. For hardware, there is a list of required build materials that are the base line for the project. There is an ambiguity in the battery as I have been unable to find the exact specified model, but it seems that various batteries and tactics have been used by the community in order to make sure the batteries that are being used are safe to use with the servos. On the software end, I am using the Ubuntu app for Windows 10, python, and ROS. The use of ROS seems to be primarily focused on simulation and seems to be not entirely necessary for the build. However, in order to gain a robust understanding of the software and kinematics of this robot, I believe it to be important for me to use. This project is multi faceted, which excites me incredibly as I will be able to build a variety of skills that will give me practical ways to solve a great deal of problems moving forward. In addition, the community appears to be incredibly active and dedicated, which is a great motivation to create meaningful contributions. This coming week, I will be learning as much practical technical information as I can with real applications. The build is starting now from a conceptual level as I learn everything I possibly can that will help me moving forward find ways to apply it immediately.
