Main Purpose: Go over each run, practice dry runs
- We went over each run and found ways to improve each one
o Run 1: sped up the line following in the beginning, as that is relatively slow at this point, also sped up other things (raised power on certain move blocks), and made the bowling more accurate with an “angling” attachment.
o Run 3: practiced the combined medicine and chair that we had done in a previous meeting
o Run 4: since we had not done so already, we made a “NO” program in which the robot does not get the Switch mission
o Run 5: edited the program
- We practiced dry runs with our drivers
o The times mostly came out much overtime, ranging from 3:40 – 4:00
o We decided to decide later on which programs to cut out.
o Eventually, we decided to cut out Run 5, involving the transition mission and the stove, which could possibly be made in time with enough practice by the drivers

- The robot hexaflexagon boards were worked on by our members
o We used black spray paint to mark the borders of all of sides of both of the hexaflexagons
o This took a majority of the meeting, and though we first tried to make them precise, we later just sprayed it on
o One of our members also started filling the center of the boards with construction paper (orange), however, did not get very far.
- One of our members also finished the CAD of the last attachment, the transition platform
