Tasks	Reflections
Intake Work	Josh, Justin, and Braden added the surgical tubing, zip ties, motors, and chain for the intake. It is now fully functional when plugged into a battery.
Bapper on Chassis	The 90 degree bend pipe was added to the chassis. The intake can get a ball into the pipe when aimed correctly. Soon, a guide will added to funnel the balls into the pipe. The bapper will be moved from the prototype to the chassis next meeting.
Autonomous	Today, Nick and Laura worked on the parking zone autonomous. First, they added the encoder wires to the robot, so it can be used in autonomous. Then, they wrote the code to line up with the center goal, and knock down the kickstand after finding the IR beacon. Due to a parents meeting, they were unable to test this code. All moves/turns are written with values that they estimated to be approximately correct. Next meeting, the programming team will test the code we have, and change the values where needed.
