I know, I know... Aside from school (last midterm is tomorrow, Tuesday!) the rest of the wait on this project is due to shipping. It took 3 separate orders to SDP-SI for me to finally select the right belt lengths and gearing combination, and now I'm waiting on a sheet of aluminum so I can finish up the center motor/reduction unit. SDP-SI is in New York, so I've been selecting UPS 3-Day shipping, which has already added up to almost $50 to ship 3 small boxes. The price of prototyping...

Much progress has been made, though. The front belt is now completely routed around the front diff and free of drag (rolling on bearings), the center unit is complete aside from the top/bottom pieces, and the rear end is all together. Once the center unit is mounted and the belts are properly tensioned I can create an enclosure to keep debris out of the belts/pulleys. So once progress continues it should go quick!
