Because the team knows and recognizes that studying (whatever that is) is a very important part of said Finals week, there will be NO MEETING Wednesday and Thursday (but we plan on meeting tomorrow and Friday).

As usual, subteams met and separately worked on their systems:
-The gear subteam installed CAD on their school computers and began learning how to use it. They also had quite a bit of fun working on their intake design...
-The drivebase subteam officially decided, with the approval of the other subteam leads, that this year's robot will be using tank drive, not mecanum
-Software worked on vision processing (very fancy), a logging system for the robot (sort of fancy), and drew some blue rectangles on a whiteboard and used them as vision targets (not as fancy)
-Business washed out all of the team's cups (thank you business team!) and worked on a financial statement
Our team also ate dinner, graciously provided by one of our robotics parents. Dinner was mac and cheese, two different types of salad, and some very
GO ROBOTOTES!!!
