They found the cost of different materials that could be used on our project, and weighted the pros and cons of each. After looking at costs and longevity, the team decided on using concrete and cast-iron. some team members were also researching into smaller problems and some were building 3D-models of our project. For a team-building activity, the team formed a human knot and were successfully able to unit themselves after just a couple of tries!
Following this activity, the team switched to working on the robot. Part of the team was making our robot sturdy, and the other part of the team was coding the robot to use the gyro sensor.

We connected our main attachment to our robot, but still have to make it more sturdy and reinforce it. During practice Trinity and Claire also coded the robot to complete part of the hydro electric dam mission!
