Week 11: Apr 3 - Apr 9

    Keep on dealing with the racing conditions.

Week 12: Apr 10 - Apr 16

    If everything is up and running, think of something that I can add to the program since I have two extra motors. I was thinking

    maybe make it mountable so that not only the camera can move up and down, left and right, but have a contraption that will

    also raise and lower that whole device, so instead of having the camera point upward towards you, have the camera actually move

    upward and downward to get to a better position of where your face actually is.  This sounds like it would work and be a good idea but this is

    completely dependent on my timing.   I should also start my presentation outline.

Week 13: Apr 17 - Apr 23

    Make sure everything is up and running, and have my presentation ready to go.
