switching gears

while there are certainly steps left to be completed on the gun (integration of azimuth and elevation servos, make the turret housing, make a light weight barrel assembly, figure out what to use and how to use the lake pump & holding tank, etc.), i'm switching over to the drive end of the project.

I'm reading up on marine motors, boat speed controllers, that sort of thing. I've been doing internet searching for local hobby shops and i'm making calls to see if any carry boat parts. front runners are D&J (which we went to and saved our day last thursday), California hobbies.

~ hour or so break~
Spirits aren't so high. i'm at a standstill. I have to go get new parts to keep working but i'm going in to volunteer at JobTrain, and don't have time to go drive down and get them. Another wasted day.
