Co-Labulance

Status: UKN

  • Keith Claussen
  • Jacob Burkamper

Notes

Needs oil change, fluids checked, gas, carwash, wiper blades, lighting check & cleaned out from the parade.

Ani - The Android Chassis

Status: almost done

  • Eric Ingamells

Notes

  • Gurney need to be cleaned? IV bag hook needs removed.

The floor stand is on the floor beneath Ani. I need to make a new hook, since I can't find the original, but that should take less than 10 min. Ani can ride in the passenger seat of my car, with the stand in the back seat. I've got Easter weekend/family stuff to do, so I'm driving my own car.

The gurney isn't a requirement for taking Ani into the Science Station, but would be more appropriate than me giving him a piggyback ride, throwing him under my arm, fireman's carry, or half a dozen other forms of carry I can think of. BTW, do we have a white sheet?

If it's not already removed, I can take care of the IV bag mount.
