*CJ and Eric worked on test driving the robot to figure out a way to bring down the kick stand and test the wheels after adjusting the motor. The robot had trouble connecting and the bluetooth was a bit slow when reacting to what they did on the controller. The kick stand could not be brought down but a top priorty for the next meeting is finding a way to bring down the kick stand quickly and consistantly. Eric while on the snack break learned how to set up the drive station for when the team practices driving. | *CJ and Eric worked on test driving the robot to figure out a way to bring down the kick stand and test the wheels after adjusting the motor.

+ | * After cutting the acrylic to size, and cutting a hole in the middle with a forstner drill bit, we started to press the bearings into place. | ||
+ | * Immediately after starting to press the bearings, the acrylic snapped in half. We learned our lesson. Never use acrylic. It is way to brittle for a robot. | ||
