*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. | *CJ and Laura went to learn and complete tasks in FRC.
