* The gang worked on creating a prototype intake so we could attempt to possibly hope to create a final model. During the prototyping we first found out that a simple conveyor with treads and tabs would not work as it could not lift the debris off the ground independently. we then added a spinning surgical tubing intake intake so we could force the balls and squares into the tank conveyor. | * The gang worked on creating a prototype intake so we could attempt to possibly hope to create a final model.
