+ | | | ||
+ | * Justin, Braden, and Josh worked on trying to figure out a way to score the elements. This proved to be pretty tough because the scoring mechanism must cater to both shapes, spheres and cubes. | ||
+ | * One possible solution is to use an arm system. Josh really liked this idea, mostly for an aesthetic purpose. He saw one team use a similar contraption at a competition last year, and affectionately calls the system the hammer of doom. He's going to try to CAD it this week, so it will be ready for prototyping on Saturday. | ||
+ | * Another possibility is to use a conveyor bet. This might be more efficient because it has the potential to be really compact and convenient. The team will try to start prototyping this design as well. | ||
