hey Andrew<br>I've laid out all the component parts and set the tables up into 3 work stations<br>for teams of:<br>Mechanical assembly<br>Electrical Assembly and<br>Software<br>Thought we could break into teams with each team having access to a lap top so we can Access assembly instruction on-line. We can have someone volunteer to be team leader/co-ordinator of each group.<br>
I've laid out all the tools we'll need plus others as required.<br>Should progress quite well.

There is a space cleared off on the shelves furthest from the wall, so it<br>

evening.<br>

Best of luck.<br>
