Photo Shoot with Grover

We got the robot up and running with the solar panels on!  We were able to drive the robot right out the bay door for its photo shoot with Grover.  It drove with no problems except when the serial to USB cable I was using got to cold and the computer could not long recognize it, so we were no longer able to communicate with the robot.  Lucky the robot was stopped when that happened and I had another one, so that we could drive safely back.  We were also able to receive GPS coordinates.  Tomorrow the solar panels will come off so that we can work on getting the power system up and running.
