New School Year

With the start of the new school year, I'm looking to build this project into my schedule and make some progress on design and construction.  This week  I've spent time familiarizing myself with properties and limitations of servo motors before I make any purchases, looking to define my needs and objectives and how these will fit in with them.

I've also been looking into ways of interfacing the Rift and servos/motors/etc, current winning plan is using an Arduino microcontroller to run the servos, with Unity (and a special software pacakge) as a go-between to interface the Rift and Arduino.  Unity supports the Rift and Arduino with the correct packages, so this seems like a logical way to reduce the complexity in software.

Starting my Robotics course at UC this week! Looking forward to see how it connects to this project and seeing what I can leverage to help me along my way.

More updates to come, exciting time to be in VR!
