Tasks	Reflections
Building the intake	Trevor and Brad built the intake which took quite a few modifications but they got through it for the most part. They have very little work to do to finish it and they will do just that next meeting.
Milling 80-20	Justin, Josh, and Andrew worked on milling 80-20 pieces to 14in. exactly. Josh, Justin and Andrew painstakingly milled 6 pieces of 80-20 to 14in on the dot through using 2 different end mills(4 flute and 2 flute). 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.
Working on the Ball Pickup	Brad, Braden, Trevor, Morgan, and Amal worked on designing and building a way to integrate Trevor's pickup method onto the robot, so as to scoop up the balls for our scoring method.

"Working on the shooting and possessor device"

CJ, Morgan,Laura, Braydon and Mentor Gary started working on building a pro-type for the shooter and possessor device 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 saw to cut some plastic pieces and then CJ and Morgan refined them to circular pieces for the Hamster wheel scoop.
