BP underwater robots are steadily assembling heavy metal pieces in what could be the most significant progress yet toward containing the gushing oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. The company says it's ahead of schedule installing a larger containment cap. Robotic submarines are bolting down a pipe-like connector that will sit on top of the spewing well bore. BP hopes for completion early Monday, after removing a busted piece of pipe that was bolted around the leak.
