Hi everyone!

Safety Contact: be aware of surroundings and pay attention to where your arms/fingers/legs are in relation to machinery.

The programming team is 99.9% done with the basic robot program.

The drive train team has finished two sets of wheels (not including the omni wheels that are already done) and they have all the necessary parts to put the drive system on the robot.

The claw team has new permanant parts and is stronger and better than before.

The telescoping is 3 times faster than it was on Saturday and the motor does not tack anymore.

Ally and Christian were at Mr. Weick's tonight working on the frame. They have the whole frame tacked together and it's almost done. They just have a few more beads to complete.

Thanks Mrs. George for dinner tonight! Our next meeting is scheduled for tomorrow night at 4:30. That being said, be on the look out for a text or email from Mrs. George tomorrow if we are unable to have our meeting due to the ice and/or snow. And as always, even if we have a meeting, if you do not feel that you can safely arrive at the workshop, please do not risk coming. Your safety is more important than the robot being built.

22 more days until ship date!
-Sam
