Day 6: Getting The Robot To Work

The meeting started with an update from Corey on where we stand with the shooter and ball-picker-upper system. He also addressed the animations team's new challenge; "Depict a mythology from a civilization on a fictional planet". In their subgroup, Media & Animation brainstormed for the new animation challenge, to come up with a concept. As well as checking everybody's names for correct spelling on the back of the competition t-shirts. Business team spent their time looking up grants from Lowe's, in order to get money for our team. They also verified what they wanted for giveaways, including water bottles, lanyards, and drawstring backpacks. Also, they confirmed everybody's t-shirt size for the competition shirts. Mechanical team took to the whiteboards to brainstorm for the shooter, and they put bumpers on the robot. Controls team made sure the magnetic pistons worked, and gave them to programming to make sure they would work on the robot efficiently. Programming team waited most of the time for mechanical team to hand over the robot for testing the pneumatic system. CAD team finished making the shooter arm assembly, and started the base. Safety team continued building the low goal. Everybody has proved their dedication to the team as the robot moves towards actually working.
