Agenda:
*Make a better bucket model

Member comments/input:
*Chris: With the newly designed bucket model I managed to shape sheet metal into the form of
the bucket we wanted and drilled the holes needed to secure the bucket into the arm mechanism. This worked out well and the bucket is in just the right place we want it to be in.

Agenda:
1. Make a limit switch for the arm to prevent it from cranking down on the wheel.
2. Get the bucket servos working.
3. Move the battery
4. Make the bucket

Comments:
Chris: I managed to get the touch sensor mounted with Jessica's help. Then I got the touch sensor into the programing, what I wrote will
prevent the arm from cranking down on the wheel but still allow the arm to come back up. Then I got the servos into the program.

*Saturday:
I attached the arm to the robot. The screws were on wrong on the servo bracket. They were to short, so we needed to replace them with longer screws. They held the servo bracket to the arm.
From testing the robot out, we need to drive the robot up the ramp backwards so that the motors propel the robot forward. We were going to attach the gears and motor to the arm so it can move. We couldn't figure out how to attach the tube so we switched to an axle. Then we had some problems with the size of the gear. We used the larger ones. But even after we set it all up, it STILL wouldn't move.Sunday:
Once we had the arm working we had some problems with it. It would slam down. We experimented a couple times and it finally vanished. But we couldn't get up the ramp because there was too much weight. I put the battery in the front/back and it WORKED!!!

Agenda
1. Take pictures of the robot because we missed taking pictures last time.
2. Build wall panels + add tape
3. Manipulator arm + throgh
4.take after robot picture
5.blog
6.clean up

Kyla got onto the teams blog via Nolan's instruction. Gabe, Kyler, and Ben are working on the wall panels.
Chris worked on blogs. Nolan and Kyla change the manipulator arm servos to a more robust design.


Gabe made the agenda with Ben and Chris. Gabe worked on wall pannels with Travis, Kyler, Ben and John.

Ben we went into construction room we then went about measuring the pipes and cutting them to the measurements
we had a few draw backs which includes the pipes and measurements we after a time were successful
we cut out the long pipes medium and short pipes we then measure and trim the board for the walls we put all
the equipment together to be put together at a later day Kyler and Gabe helped with measurements.
