FRC lessons	CJ and Laura went to learn and complete tasks in FRC. CJ watched a presentation on CAD and tasks in a FRC build season. He learned about how to use CAD to create complex parts and assemblies. Additionally, he learned on what to do after a game release and how to use the 6 weeks given in FRC efficiently. The knowledge gathered from the presentation gave him ideas on completing the robot efficiently in a reasonable time period.
Mounting IR beacon sensor	Josh worked to mount the sensor for the IR beacon so it would stay in the 18in. box. he completed this task with around 1/2 inches to spare.
