Equipment Update
I ordered the missing DC motor mount, it should arrive by the middle of next week. ($20 with shipping - please sell two LED lightbulbs to cover the cost).
I took joystick inventory, Team 6884 has one working joystick that came with the kit. I don't expect that to be a problem. As far as a second joystick, we will need to share Team 5321's second joystick during testing at school. Of course, the competition game field has joysticks available so it wont impede competition.
There is also second joystick that is partially working, we may be able to work around this and use that joystick for the arm control and the good joystick for driving. We could send this back to the manufacturer after the competition since it is still under warranty. There is a third joystick that has a cut wire, it may be repairable, let me know if someone wants to help me try this.

Three 1 meter long NXT cables have been ordered with priority mail, should arrive early next week. Where are you planning on storing the extra cable length when the arm is not extended?
