| Attend the Game Reveal
|
- we saw that the game this year has a lot of chances to score. we also saw that it will be a challenge to do what we need done in order to complete the tasks this year
- Josh thought the game was very interesting and had a lot of interesting scoring mechanisms. The game also used several elements that he really did not understand.
- the robot had to throw or drop balls into tubes to score points. It also had to push the tubes into marked zones. I have never done this before and i think it's cool.
- The Team got awesome new shirts and learned about the game, which Brad thinks looks very interesting and he thinks it looks like it will be very fun

| Brainstorm / Prioritize / Strategize:D
|
- we strategized for 2 hours and had came up with a strategy. we learned that game strategy is key this year in order to succeed
- we thought of strategies for the autonomous period, tele-op and started the end game strategy. we also made several experiments on how many balls would fit in a rolling tube.
- The team started autonamis strategizing and thats when Eric helped out and wrote done what the team was strategizing. The team decided to score the center goal balls in autonamis and focus on getting the rolling goals and the robot parked or lifted on to the ramp.
