10/25

To continue with last post, we also added a rail to the robot so that it is able to pick up the balls so that it can reload the launcher. The ball used to fall off the sides, but we fixed that by adding supports to the sides to help it roll down the arm with ease. Oh we were also the first ones to complete the challenge, in 45 seconds!!!!!
