Here’s an update of what we did at NASA on Saturday 1/31/09:

  • We got the camera up and running, and it now tracks the pink and green trailer colors
  • Finished the prototype
  • Changed the design by adding in a few more rollers and decreased the angle of the slope
  • Had a successful test of the roller and shooter. :D
  • Cut the all the needed bumpers at the right angle
  • Cut and sanded all the L-brackets for the bumpers
  • Drilled the holes for the L-bracket pin
