We delivered the first version of the Spider Monkey computerized testing apparatus to Dr. Darby Proctor & Dr. Kate Talbot at the Brevard Zoo. They will test this version to further develop mechanical and software designs. Don already made one revision to the area where the “reward pellets” dispense. He cut a piece of PVC, bent the ends and made a “tray” so the monkeys can pick up the pellets. The Spider Monkeys were a part of the testing yesterday and were very interested!
