Shem, Abu, and Kyle working on the robot's design
Max testing out some code
This week we finalized our team name and logo. We also started on our robot (Toothless)'s design, code, and our engineering portfolio.

A video of early robot testing
This week the prototype robot was tested in the arena built by Caleb, Nathan and Christopher. Concluded observations were: motors are fully functional; robot can drive foward, backwards and crabwalk.
At the end of the week, the programmers made some progress on the autonomy of the robot. The robot moved forward and backwards by reading an april tag using a camera. The robot was further improved by Max who rewrote the drive code.
Abu and Kyle wokring on robot
This week started off with the builders(Kyle & Abu) commencing the assembly of the actual competition robot. Shem and Chris are finishing designing the shooter meant to be put on the robot. 3D printing custom parts has started, with the battery holder being the first one.
Intake test #1
Max started off this week by backing up the code. 3D printing of the shooter started, with small pieces being first. The builders are midway through developing the final robot. Intake system of the robot has been tested.
Chris building shooter
Robot intake test
Final design of shooter finished over weekend, with 3D printing starting this week. Kaleb finished autonomous coding for the robot. Intake of the robot was finished and tested. Chris and Shem started building the shooter prototype.
