Construction group got together and fabricated platform for end of conveyor rollers. Also set up arm for piston. Lastly we gather supplies to be able to fabricate a frame for rollers at the piston platform. Next week we should have tools needed in order to construct and test all rollers and piston.

Me and Charles were trying to figure out why the robot was moving slow. We went through the manual to try and find something but couldn't. we did change the batteries on it but didn't know to keep the power on, so we had to reprogram the robot to help it remember where its home is.

the Control group started testing sensors and realized we will need all new sensors, as the ones available do not seem to work. We also managed to get a conveyer belt running using a relay to switch 120AC.
