Wireless repeater to extend wireless signal on the ranch? I don't know
what is compatible for their systems. This can wait until the arm is
set up, running and ready to be controlled remotely.

I think that is all we need to get the arm running. Is there anything
I should add?

Please don't order anything yet, I'm just trying to finalize the parts
list first.

[Angelo Vermeulen]

Looks good to me. Ileana, could you please have a look at this and add/change anything that would be needed!

Thx!

Angelo

[Ileana Argyris]

I think that's it.

Thanks,
Ileana
