To perfect the design of the shooter and alter the design of the robot, we needed some new pieces made in the workshop, this included bending some plastic plates into the desired shape and cutting out the necessary metal additions.

To ensure the pieces were in peak condition for use next Wednesday, we acquired help from a Harlaw Teacher in the design and manufacture department of our school, who helped us follow rules to do with health and safety. His help also let us get these parts made quickly in light of the approaching competition.

Today we achieved a huge milestone to shoot ball via the launcher intake. Where the team needed to decrease the gear ratio to achieve a higher rpm and less torque to achieve a high velocity to shoot the ball over large distances. Credit to builders who stayed back late, as they finally constructed a functional robot, ready for the challenge.  (sorry for the bad quality)😓
