        It’s Friday and we’re well on the way to having a completely functioning robot out of advanced prototypes by Sunday afternoon! The Electrical team was able to attach the last two JAGS to the electrical board and wire things for the other sub-teams. The heads of all the sub-teams meet for a leadership meeting, where the upcoming integration of all of the team’s software and mechanical teams was discussed. The Elevator team was able to draw up a motor mount in CAD and the final mechanism is finally in the works.The Drive team, that has already finished their work on the actual robot, has started to work on the frame for the second robot. The Shooter team coordinated with the Elevator team to figure out how exactly the elevator will take the ball to the shooter. They also increased efficiency with an improved axle for their mechanism’s wheels.
