Start time: 6:30pm

End time: 9:00pm

Members present: [Josh Goodman, Michael Montemalo, Alex Wolf] - [Mike Wolf, Dave Vadas, Kevin Lloyd]



Tasks completed: 

- Worked with Drive Train to conclude a wide drive base with offset wheels

- Designed the robot based off robot design #4. It consists of a roller bringing balls into a 1x3 hopper (holds about 20 balls). There is a conveyor system in the front which bring the balls up to a top with a roller kicker to knock it out the front. The robot can only dump to the front. The reason for this is ease for the drivers being that you can just run towards a robot rather then precisely parking sideways.

- Created group difference. Mech 1 will start prototyping conveyor belts and rollers. Mech 2 will start looking at available space.



Tasks to complete:


- Prototype systems

- Find available space and start laying out Inventor design
