12/17/16 Today's meeting was very crucial as it was the day before the scrimmage our team is attending tomorrow at QD Academy in Plano, TX. This will be the second and last chance before Qualifiers in January for our team to test how ready we are.

Our coder, Rohit Shankar, was able to finish coding our robot and attempted to fix as many bugs as possible without testing it on the robot. Our team was not able to test the robot today...…

We fixed this by unscrewing the plaque that was holding our base together and replacing the bar that was uneven. Eventually, we were able to get it perfected. …

9/17/16 Today was another successful meeting. We decided what point values to target and identified what kind of design to use for our robot. We were able to build a basic blueprint of our robot. Our sister team, Iron Reign (team 6832), was able to bouce some ideas and help us out. We hope to begin coding next week once we have everything set up. Written by: Rohit Shankar …
