Soldering the Ardumoto Shield - Robotics Challenge Update

More progress has been made for the Robotics Challenge. I was able to assemble the Ardumoto Shield with the stackable headers and the screw terminals.

I had done soldering last semester (Fall 2021), so this go-round it was a breeze. I was able to get this assembled in under an hour with little issues. I believe I have a steady hand when it comes to soldering. I also like to believe that my solder joints are clean. I haven't needed to use any soldering wick to remove excess, and I haven't had to worry about extra solder in places that it should be. I find it to be calming and enjoyable, even if it is a little hard to see in the lighting that I work in.
