Not necessarily and amazing piece of work but it's at least a step in the right direction. this will hopefully help us progress toward completing the eye.

Today I am focusing on getting servos to function through a plugin in unity.  This first step will help us begin to get something functioning with success.

  Today I took a look at the Fritz code and looked into the Arduino reference library to further my knowledge and become less confused about writing code on Arduino.

Continued working in MakerWare in an attempt to piece together the potential tentacle we could use if we ever require so. Also learned just how simple and confusing Makerware can simultaneously be. After getting a bit of work done on the tentacle Matt and I began to brainstorm ideas on how to get other parts of the robot functioning

Today Myself, George, and Karl worked on configuring the Maya to Arduino conversion software. Me and Karl rewrote a large portion of the app, and then had a hit and miss experience in the usability. George helped us have the Arduino software read the actual board. I also configured a joystick to scroll on screen movements and do rotations in Maya. The app I used to configure that is called Joy2Key (http://joytokey.net/en/ [use ad-block]).

After some getting through a few issues concerning constructing the eye. I shifted over to begin working on getting a tentacle moving properly in MakerWare.

Today we printed one eye for a prototype to work on and kinda get a feel of how the eye should work.  We also are in the middle of producing a base for the eye to work on. I will also continue to work on how to program on Arduino.
