1/28/10 – The mechanical group was working on the kicker. They were trying to re-figure out the Force needed to pull the kicker just as before. They also worked on prototyping the robot's arm which is based of a hypothetical idea. The shop-in-a-box painted part of the storage crate and measured the wood needed to build the interior shelf. The CAD group worked with the mechanical group by helping with the prototype kicker by simulating some of the parts in a CAD model of the kicker. There were some members who were working on figuring out how to build the field goal. They were making a list of materials needed to build the field goal. The software team has been trying to get autonomous mode and the camera working. Eddy got the robot to stop moving in a “jerky” way. Jatin an Ravi cleaned up the shop and entry way. They did a great job. It was very important to keep it clean.
