We borrowed something that can compel the balls into the arena for us to score points. We are creating one in the process. The team is doing a fantastic job and we will keep you posted.

Today we tried creating a scoop like mechanism to pick up the blue/red pieces to score a point. Didn't turn out well making nearly operational. We added the old attachment from earlier and we finally were able to complete the challenge. We also balanced a couple balls...

Today we done the extensions and assembly, adding modifications like two extra motors for more power. We did a practice run and it went great flipping and scoring for a point. The process in understanding the controls is key so when we feel more confident, that when the official will happen.

Today we organized our tool box, cleaning it out. We managed to get a 90% . During the organization, we discovered that there were two broken motors that we needed to replace. Other than that, we didn't do much. We plan to work and maybe do the challenge on this coming up Friday.

The arm is completely functional now and is now ready for the claw add-on. The arm runs smooth and fat and can rotate 180 degrees. The Solid works is projected to be turned in today and this challenge in the ring is set for possible next week!
