			== Rally in TWO DAYS! ==
			The past few days, we haven't done much work to benefit storage, but did have to frequently move the axles to make room for the other mechanisms (intake pistons and shooter). Because we made the axles able to shift independently, this was relatively easy. Design wise, the only major things we have fixed is leveling out the axles, attaching the support beams, and attaching the Lexan ramp to lead into the storage from intake.

	We made minor adjustments for the storage support and cleaned up the CAD. Then, we created a motor mount that simultaneously stabilizes the transition space between the storage and the intake. We continued to work on infrastructure; By making part of the Lexan support piece mounted to the drive base and the Lexan C channel connecter, we were able to stabilize the entire Intake/Storage mechanism to the best of our abilities. We put an arc in our motor mount to maximize room for the cargo available. We finished by making dimensioned shop drawings for all of our pieces.

	We added the Storage Cross Brace to both sides, and made Harris shop drawings for them. We also removed the rivet holes in the Storage Lexan Connector. The Storage Cross Brace now has rivet holes on both of the flanged sides, and the length of the Lexan Support Piece was adjusted accordingly to fit within the Storage Lexan connecting pieces. We also made sensor mounting brackets for our beam breakers. We placed one in between the first and second stage of intake so that we can stop the cargo in first stage if necessary. We placed the second one right after the second second stage axle, so that we can stop the cargo before we preheat to shoot. The first beam break will also act as a ball counter.

			== Finalizing CAD!! 2/6/2022 ==
			Looking at our sensor mountings, we realized that the sensor in second stage storage was very close to the belts and pistons. Although it did not directly interfere with the beam break, we felt a little uneasy about mounting a sensor near so many moving parts. After consulting with our Cargo programmer, we made the decision to move the second stage sensor from the end of second stage to the beginning. This is the updated version of how our sensors will work: the cargo will enter through intake and into storage. Sitting on the edge of the first storage axle is a beam break. When the cargo breaks this beam, the ball is now considered to be at the end of first stage. This will allow for us to stop the cargo and store it in first stage. This sensor will also serve as our ball counter, mainly for auto purposes. Next, the ball will enter second stage, marked by two more axles. There is a beam break at the first axle of second stage. When the cargo breaks the beam, then stops breaking the beam, the cargo is considered to be in second stage.

			The majority of storage work for today was spent making shop drawings and minor adjustments. We are hoping to start fabrication soon as we are now finished with the CAD assembly itself.

Then, we worked on creating structural support for the Lexan panels because we discovered that the Lexan bends when subjected to the force of the cargo entering the system. We quickly realized that our support was too frail and long, so we decided to change it to a 1x1 tube connected to the storage by two support beams. These support beams have additional support pieces, attaching it to the drive base and stopping the Lexan from moving.
