Tasks	Reflections
Marketing	Brad and Trevor worked on creating posters for the team, and also worked on creating more "fun" concepts for competitions, such as items to hand out or notecards.
Programming and Electrical	Over the week, mentor Julie figured out that the reason that the reason that the original code was not working properly was because the motors were wired to two different motor controllers on the robot. Akhila and mentor Julie worked to rewire the motor controllers correctly, and after a few attempts succeeded. The code was then updated to match the new wiring, and a test autonomous VI was configured. This code and the robot were on the same page, and were both successful! The teleop code was also successful, and was then continued into use for driver practice.
Mill work	Justin Andrew and two new students for the mill worked on completing the alumintum tubing for the chase. Unfortunately we did not get to Finnish the winner slide that was the post to be finished to day. Amal and Andrew at the end had to use the mill for a very small piece. The new students of the Linear Slide finally learned the correct way to use it due to Andrew and Justin's methods. We have finished 3 parts and we have 4 more parts to go!!!!!
