11/13/18: Raspberry Learning and rear leg designing

Today, I worked according to the plan I laid out on Monday. First, I looked up and studied how to use the Raspberry Pi to to control motors. I went on the GitHub Website to create an account and start coding for the Raspberry Pi. Then, I followed the website's instructions to create and upload the code to GitHub for transfer to the Raspberry Pi. 

In the afternoon, I worked on designing the rear legs that are meant to be different from the front legs. While the front legs had 2 stepper motors, the rear legs would have only 1 stepper motor. This is done to lighten the overall weight of the robot and to reduce the problems that may arise from an overly complex machine. However, due to the fact that I had to leave for my A-team meet, I was unable to complete the design. 

Tomorrow, I will deliver my mid term presentations and continue work on learning how to code on the Raspberry Pi microprocessor.
