What a productive meeting! Last week we had a staggered schedule and worked on attaching the ball lifter to the linear slides. During the team meeting portion, we discussed what progress was made since the week before and compared everyone's psuedocode. Along with this, we learned that even with the great shape and angle of the lifter design, the balls still get locked up and won't come down. This will be an interesting task, putting some kind of divider in the lifter so they will indeed fall. Other than the divider for the ball lifter, The Robot is done!

Successful meeting

Last Week we had a great meeting! Our team split into subgroups and worked on multiple tasks to work more efficiently. Two of us worked on Linear slides, two of us worked on a holder for the IR beacon detector, and the last two worked on the scoop attachment for the robot. This was a very successful meeting because now we have a better grasp on the final design! This week we were also tasked to write pseudocode for all of our programs this will be very helpful for when we program.
