Christopher - AM - 1 Hour - Resolved Some Connection Issues

I had controller issues so I used a wire connection

Previously, I encountered an issue where the left drive motor was constantly spinning without any controller input.

I resolved this problem by switching some motor pins to the pin locations provided by the manual. 
-- The arm motor was supposed to be connected to pin 7 (Worked)
-- The claw motor was supposed to be connected to pin 6 (Didn't work)

When the process was done, the right drive motor became fully operational--previously the drive motor was inverted so I spent extra time fixing it--and the claw arm was functioning. 

**The left drive motor and claw isn't operational yet**
*Controller may need to be recalibrated*

Christopher - AM - 30 Mins - Wheel glitch

Discovered that the two left wheels would spin by themselves when Dewey turns on.
- Most likely a pin connection error

Weight distribution problem can be potentially resolved by extended the rear rail to cover the second rail of the wheels.

Potential problem where the gear scrapes against one the metal parts.
