+## The May Update
+
+littleRascal is pending an update, I want to
+ - make motion control work with squidworks first
+ - show automatic end effector swapping, or rotary-axis-turning, before:
+
+Here's a list of things not-to-forget, for me
+- beam out the beam, ferchrissake
+- the bupdate (beam update) should go for a face-mounted beam a-la onsrud, etc,
+ - to avoid the motor-on-face awkwardness, use the pulley mod. then can mount z back-to-face ... it would be awesome to have #globaltramming
+ - then the rest of the beam is 1/8th inch alu with nut inserts, flushmount fhcs, definitely biscuits, maybe biscuits are triangular / accordioned ?
+ - lightening holes tripel-eh
