-Adjusting The Scoring Tubes

-Snarr, Amal, Justin, Bennett, Jake and Myles all worked on adjusting the scoring tubes. The 2 cylindrical tubes that stored debris met at a single point, where a hole opened up for the conveyor belt to drop debris into one of the tubes. A problem we found was that on some occasions, cubes would come through the conveyor belt and instead of being deposited into the tubes, the cubes were shot into the air and landed behind the robot. Throughout today's meeting we worked on covering an opening above the two tubes with duct tape, eventually fixing the problem of cubes being shot into the air.
