When do you want to have the motor's tested?

I will let you know when they arrive.

They have been tested.  The CMDoverwatch will be much stronger than Prototype 2 
and will be fully constructed by Thursday Morning.  I also noticed a range 
issue when using the Robot this morning.  The range is about 20m (if that) but 
can and should increase with the addition of the High-Power Wireless LAN 
adapter that we should get from Mr. S later (hopeful on Wednesday afternoon).  
The USB tether should also disappear after Wednesday afternoon as well.

Motors are very powerful, despite the accident that occurred @ 8:27am today.

Motors worked well in prelim testing.

Issues:
- motors came lose from mounts
- massive wheels came off
- the screws holding the axil on disappeared
- massive wheels cause more amps required...only lantern batteries work with 
motors now.

Progress on Issues:
- Lose motors:

I have used threadlok on the motors (a glue that goes onto a screw and then 
locks the thread in place.  I have not checked if this has worked but did 
discover in the process that ALL the threads have gone on ALL OF THE MOTORS!  
The internal screw hole on the motors have been destroyed (how odd?).

- Wheels coming off / axil screws:

No Progress has been made because I need to buy more Screws which are 1/8th 
Inch long.  The width is still to be discovered.

- More amps for movement:

Solved: Batteries are semi-permanently attached.

Progress Update:

Wheels are now staying on.  This is that's to me working out that the screw 
type is a 4 40.  I had some leftover from other activities.  I drilled them in 
and now they won't come off.

Lose motors:  The motors are still a bit lose.  I will look into this on a 
later date.  The threadlok might not have worked due to a 4 40 screww being 
used instead of a M3 screw.  I will see what I can do to resolve this.

New faster motors might be used on CMDRobot (Yet to be named)
