Tasks	Reflections
Drivers Practice	Akhila, Josh, Justin, CJ and Braden all switched off driving and operating, while Brad, Trevor and Andrew switched off coaching. Throughout the practice, there were a few problems such as, the "bapper" getting jammed, and a few times the robot got stuck on some of the whiffle balls, but with practice the drive team learned to work around or fix these problems. Josh scored 177 in his first practice match and 130 in his second match braden and josh scored 130 points in a practice. Eric and Brad scored 158points during practice. The team improved over the night as they overcame some of the issues that arose.
Drivers Practice Mechanical Fixes	At one point a chain for or drive system came off due to a driving error
PRogramming	Laura, who was not driving, worked on various programming tasks throughout the night. She changed the controls for the operator when Akhila and Braden suggested new controls. She also created a test program that wrote all information from an IR seeker to the screen of the NXT, so it could be used to debug autonomous at a later date.
