To make the ends of the 80-20 nice and perty we used the 4 flute. We used the 2 flute to make slightly larger cuts. we went back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and so on to cut the 80-20 nearly perfectly. |

+ | * CJ, Morgan,Laura, Braydon and Mentor Gary started working on building a pro-type for the drum shooter that would be both efficient and quick. | ||
+ | * The mechanism to scoop the game device would be like hamster wheel attached with a moving motor or servo. | ||
+ | * Before they went to work they met with Head Mentor Clem and discussed what the prototype would look like and what materials to use for it. | ||
+ | * In the Workshop Laura and Mentor Gary used a band saw to cut some foam pieces and then CJ and Morgan refined them by hand to circular pieces for the Hamster wheel scoop. | ||
+ | * Then we cut more circular pieces but out of poly carbonate. Since this was a little harder to do by hand, we used the band saw for the refinement too. It was Laura's first time cutting a curve, so it was fun to learn. | ||
+ | * In the end, we made the beginning of a prototype for the drum shooter. We will still need to build a frame, add a motor, add surgical tubing/spring, and test some shooting! Sadly, we ran out of time, so we will continue this next meeting. | ||
