   This week I got the metal detector circuit to trigger the electro-magnet then the servo turns the arm and then deactivates the electro-magnet and the servo goes back in to the start position. This completes my pin picking up sequence. Next week I have to rewire everything so that it is in parallel with the battery pack so that there will be enough current to run everything at the same time.

   This week I was able to get the metal detector circuit to work and wrote the code that will interrupt the drive function when anything metal is detected. When something metal is detected the robot will stop at this point, and next week I will work on the rest of the sequence of turning on the elector magnet and actuating the servo.
