    • Austin/Ray: get familiar with the rules and the updated rules on FIRST website; get official scoring sheet from Derek to get familiar with
    • Melody/Audrey: get familiar with mission model setup (we will have FLL team members to help setup at 2-2:30pm. You need to clarify any questions with them if you have)
    • Anthony: practice announcer script and we will have rehearsal next meeting
    • Max: work on the site planning. we lost time in the last week, you need to send coach a version to review as soon as possible so we can have several iterations during the week (actively follow up with Amanda to get the version from last year as soon as possible)
• Software
  • Anthony/Ray: update Engineering notebook for details on software design/coding/debugging:

  • Max: improve 3D print model accuracy and print a working model this week
• Hardware
  • Austin/Melody/Audrey/Derek: update Engineering notebook for details with pictures, any problem you had and how you solved them (e.g., Audrey did trace the position values of both servos to push the jewel ball to confirm the feasibility of the design. But nothing was documented in the engineering notebook. A picture of all the values you noted down will be a very good source of the information to be put in the engineering notebook)
  • Austin: improve linear slide
  • Melody: improve double claws performance; considering the options to put team numbers on to the robot.
  • Audrey: complete the jewel ball mechanism and put onto the robot so Ray can start programing and testing
