During today's class time, I met with Mr. Luis to discuss about the electronics part and other aspects of my project. I first showed him the full robot leg and foot that I had been working on for the past week. Then I showed him the research I made on how to control the stepper motors and the progress I have made so far. After analyzing the situation, he pointed out the code I had been relying on were outdated or incompatible with my current Arduino-motor shield setup. 

Some of the codes I used were made for older versions of the motor shield (v1) and others required a stepper motor driver to work. As such, he suggested that I should wait until the stepper motor drivers to arrive and work it out from there. He also also suggested that I experiment more with servos, as some servos could be strong enough to support my robot and fast enough to move my robot. He pointed out that my final iteration could use both stepper motors and servos. 

At the end of our meeting, he asked that I draw a sketch of the final iteration of my robot. Tomorrow, as I still have to wait for the motor drivers to arrive, I plan on working on the support wall for the stepper motor shaft in the meantime.
