We worked in John Polyani's shop.

Drive train: We were doing driver practice and tryouts when we noticed that our screws holding the versa blocks onto the drive train were coming out and rubbing with the wheel, causing the wheel to become damaged. To ensure this wouldn't happen again we used loctite on all the bolts including the ones attaching the gearbox to the versa blocks. These ones were a little trickier to loctite and put back in because the gear box was blocking our point of entry. So we had to disassemble and reassemble part of both of our drive train boxes. We did some driving on the field and our robot can vroom vroom really nicely. It seems to be able to go over the 1 inch raised boundaries in the Rendezvous Point very nicely.

Intake: We put in the 1x2 bar with the lead screw and plugs and attached it to our intake with thin nuts. We discovered that the churros were cut too short, so we need to get more churros cut.

Indexer: We drill pressed holes to attach the indexer to 1x2 and the robot

Tigger: We started drill pressing 1x2s to create Tigger, and decided how to use triangles to make Tigger as structurally integral as possible.
