CUAUV continues to make progress on all fronts. Machining continues on mechanical parts. Battery machining is nearing conclusion while frame machining is done. CNC is in progress. Waterjet cutting will happen next week.

Electrical design and manufacture is also going well. The actuator, switchbox, and GPIO boards are in the population stages and the serial, sensor power, merge, and thruster boards have been ordered.
