As of now we are writing the Chairman’s essay, and we are             also finalizing critical design reviews. Over the past few weeks, we have brainstormed designs for the robot, and started models on inventor. The group has debated on the defense-breaching capabilities of the robot, as well as how we should score. We took votes on these capabilities, showing what was most important as abilities for the robot. Other activities have been carried out, such as calculations of weight and cost of the robot. Some of our other group members have built prototypes as ideas for mechanisms in the robot.

We are working doggedly to stick to our schedule, and we are hoping for a successful and productive build season.
