Constructed rollers for the end. Started testing and ran into some issues. Going to construct rollers out of PVC. Milk carton keep tipping over.

We were at a slight standstill early this week waiting for parts and doing some design changes. I started working on working out how the raspberry pi will interface with the PLC.

th:
We got the raspberry pi and I spent most of the period trying to get it to work, we also got some of the laser break sensors. We will need to make more of them using LEDs and light sensors from the boebot kit. I believe we will need several more changes to the design before we can have a fully functional system planned out.

Had some problems when we started testing the rollers. Started discussing a new plan for it.

We figured out that the rollers idea did not work. So we made a new idea where the carton slides down and works well. Brainstorming ideas for how and where to make a loading platform. Alos made a platform for first conveyor.
