    Nathaniel worked on the mounting for the arm, but we had to reconfigure the robot to make room. We than ate a lot of pizza, and we then had to change where the wheels were mounted.

    Sawyer worked on the autonomous programming for the robot. After many fails and re-do we thought that we had it right, but then it crashed and we will consult the creators of the library.

We started designing and testing builds for the hand grip thingy, while that was printing we also did some building of the brick car. We also looked over our design for the brick non-motor vehicle. And we…
