How to fix all the Pi problems
1. Flashed EPROM on the FTDI Chip back to factory settings.
2. Flashed Raspbian to the SD Card
3. Connect via FTDI Mini-USB to Master Computer
4. sudo python -m serial.tools.miniterm -b 115200 -p /dev/ttyusb1
4.1 Connects to the USB device via the serial port and runs it all through a python window
4.2 Possibly will also work with a screen command
5. Press ENTER
6. PRESS ENTER AGAIN
7. Everything should work.

The final plan:
1. Vasu has a HDMI to VGA adaptor
2. We will steal a VGA or HDMI monitor from some lab
3. Figure out how to move to case and all of the rest of the stuff to the setup table
4. Vasu is the most dedicated person alive!
5. We will win!
6. We need to build the functionality for controlling multiple slaves at the same time. Make the python launcher concurrent
7. Need to design demo, Bit coin miner?
8. Vasu will get the bit coin miner working!

Everything is awesome!
The demo was amazing, we just got off 3 hours of back-to-back presentations. It's been a lot of work, but after one last final push (all night long) we were able to wow everybody.
Looking forward to the banquet tonight

Day 2 afternoon update! We made some significant progress today.
We spent the morning (~10am) in RoboClub finishing cutting out the buttons and assembling the frame.
After lunch (~2pm) we started working on designing our button implementation and doing the wood work at the FRC Woodshop.

Day 2 Evening Update:
Around 4pm we headed back to RoboClub to begin assembling the buttons.
By dinner (~8pm) we had finished screwing and the buttons to the rails and taping the buttons of the buttons.
After dinner we moved to HH to glue the foam into the buttons and tape the button tops.

Day 2 Complete.
Finally finished the hardware components and frame. After 2 grueling days or work we are a few hours behind schedule, but we are making progress.
Vasu Agrawal is working on finishing up the circuit while the rest of the time will begin working on software on day 3.
Check out our pictures to see the progress!

We are exhausted... after working for the last 18 hours almost constantly we are finally getting close to finishing. @adbensen is sleeping with the parts so we don't have to clean up.
